Yesterday (Saturday) we went to another hockey game; this time for my younger cousin.  It was nice to see family, but I am sick of hockey!  We went to my Grandma's house after, for lunch.  It's surrounded by state land.  I saw some really cool cloud formations, and left the house with my camera.  I walked to the middle of the largest field.  It was about 5-6 acres.  I was happily snapping away, and then I turned around to see the clouds behind me.  There was one HUGE black cloud, and it was rapidly covering the sky.  I saw the snow making its way toward me.  Within seconds, I was in the middle of a complete white-out!  And of course it couldn't just be snow.  There were bits of ice flying at as well, pretty much horizontally. 

    I kind of hunkered down for a while, but it just got worse.  So I started walking.  I don't know if you are really supposed to do that it nasty weather or not, but that's what I did.  After about ten minutes, which felt like HOURS, I ran into something rather hard.  It turned out to be an old abandoned shed!  So I waited out the storm inside. 

     When the squall turned to flurries, I started heading home.  I had to stop and thank God for keeping me safe.  I realized that if I hadn't walking into the shed, I would have kept going to the "drop-off," a place used for dumping fallen limbs.  The fall would have been about 50 feet!  On the bright side, I got some nice cloud photos.
