The Cold
I have to admit this weather this season has gotten really cold, probably the highest being zero degrees. I nearly froze today before coming to my college class today when I was outside next to my car at a gas station. I was glad to at least get out of my driveway today, becasue yesterday I was in a rut to get out of the snow when there was still the ice underneath it. Man did I show aggression for I thought I was going to be late for my noon class, but I did get lucky. How lucky, is actually entering the classroom at twelve o' clock sharp and just before the instructor took attndance. But I knew that it was going to get much worse with the temperature dropping and worst of all the wind causing it to be colder than it is, and the drifting. The drifting of snow is one thing, other than the wind, I know I do not look forward to see happen, especially after the places that are snow plowed all of a sudden are once againi covered up in snow.
At the gas station I felt numbness when needing to pump my tires for my front left tire looked as if it were getting flat. I do not know why but it is just that tire that seems to lose more air than the other three for the rest of them looked fine. But I have been told before the car was given to me that tire does seem to do that. But being out there for only ten minutes with the cold air and the wind making it much colder made parts of my limbs go numb. My face was hurting for it was too cold that I might have soon had frost bite if I did not hurry. When that was over I was actually moaning and thinking how much this weather bites becasue the cold can be a biter. My gas was nearly empty so I had to take care of that as well yet there was a short moment when I did not want to get out of my car. Yet I had to do what I had to do to get to school so I could get the information I needed and drive home safe and sound before getting ready for my shift at work. I believe there is going to be more snow on the way this week, so let's just see how this goes becasue it is already bad enough to have heard on the news about the accident in Michigan City, Indiana. Hope everyone drives safe, depending on how bad the snow participation will be.

I also wrote about how much I hate the weather! Guess it's hard not to think about when it's making you go numb and biting your face. Good post!
