Much like the UK, we have had a good amount of snow this past week. Temperatures have generally been sub zero (Degree Celsius – I’m still trying to understand Fahrenheit) and about 4” of the white stuff has dropped on the area.
The main difference that I’ve noticed with the US and the UK during snowfall is how the roads are constantly being cleared. Pick up trucks have ploughs stuck on the front and drive around clearing the highways. However, every other driver on the road still continues to drive as they normally would (as close as possible to the car in front), so maybe there is a false sense of security instilled by the plough trucks!
This weekend I went to a bowling alley that had 80 lanes; I swear you could actually feel the curvature of the Earth’s surface …
I also sampled a Dairy Queen Blizzard … then felt sick at the amount of Oreo Cheesecake flavoured ice-cream. I will go back for more though.
This weekend has also been my penultimate one in the US before I fly back to the UK for Christmas. By the time I fly back I will have been out here for 3 months; I really can’t believe how quickly the time has gone.
