What a huge storm we passed! I haven't seen such a storm in my country (Iran). It was about 8:00 am, Feb. 6, 2010, when I woke up, and I was freezing. I ran downstairs quickly, and I saw my parents and my sister were huddling around the chimney. I noticed that we didn't have power, and the heater was off. We tried to call my uncle's family who live near our neighborhood. Fortunately, they had electric power, and their house was warm. Then we attempted to shovel the snow on our doorway to be able to drive to their house. But the tremendous amount of the snow didn't let us to do this. It was about 6:00 pm, when we still were at home without light. The bad point was that it was getting dark at home, so I couldn't do my homework anymore. We just had candles and lanterns to illuminate the house, but we didn't know how long this condition would take. The time for sleep arrived, and we still were trying to get more woods to burn, and use their warmth. Finally, my mom, my sister and I slept around the fire, however my dad was putting woods in the fireplace until we got the power tomorrow in the morning. I hope we won't be caught in another storm during this school year.

Today, February 10, I woke up early in the morning and went to look at the window with my dog. I surprised that everything was white!! I couldn't see trees, cars, people, and roads. Even though the wind seemed strong, my dog, Lucky, wanted to go outside because he loves snow so much. Finally, father, mother, and I decided to go out and we wore so many clothes. When we opened the door, the wind came into my house with snow!! We couldn't move forward. So we gave up. It was lucky that we didn't lose any power during the snow days. I hope that we won't have so many days to go to school during spring break or summer break.

Today February 10th 2010, I was awoken by the rays of the sun. Finally I had seen sunlight! It had been at least 2 to 3 days without real sunlight because of all this snow. Now that the sun is out, I am happier because all that snow made me feel sad, tired and gloomy. The thought of all this snow melting would be a whole other story. I can not wait to get back to my "normal" life because being stuck in the snow after such a long time made me feel trapped. The only advantage I saw in staying home was the time I got to spend with my family!

My experience with the snow is not that much because in my home town never snow. Well yesterday the 2/11 the heater in the whole house stopped working for 5 straight hours. My parents freaked out! My dad tried calling at least 5 companies that takes care of the heater. So my dad was trying but he couldn’t figure out what to do. So we all called our neighbors and asked if they had electric heaters, than we borrowed 3 electric heaters, it helped a bit but it wasn’t enough to take all the cold away. That’s the worse thing I guesses it happened in this days. Thank god!!!
