Signs Of The Apocalypse ::'The Day After Tomorrow'... It Can Totally Happen!!!

The Day After Tomorrow can really totally happen because it happened to me in like 45 minutes today..

::The Story::
In the morning it was warm and just raining and so I wore my blue jacket with the super huge hood... //fstfrwd// and after driving west for awhile, it started to get really cold and then began to sleet, which I never really had driven thru before and then it began to sleet more and more and then it grew darker out...
So I decided to turn around and drove east and after a few minutes it began to get lighter and turned to all rain...I thought that I out drove it and patted myself on the back for making the right decision...//fstfrwd//
As I was getting close to home, I had to turn north and just when I did, it got really windy and cold again and then the sleet returned and then it grew darker again and then it was so windy that the sleet was just blowin' sideways and I was driving on a road that cuts thru a wooded area and then all of a sudden... the snow just began to dash out from behind the trees across the road like there was some giant snowblower in the woods shooting the white stuff accross the street... it even began to stick to everything... buildings, trees, sidewalks, grass, windshields ... the road even went from black to white in like a quarter of a mile... everything began to freeze... I totally have never seen anything like it and of course the worse part was that I totally had to... yadda yadda yadda... so then I finally made it home.

::Sidenotes::
So when it first began to sleet I began to take pics... I had an inkling that this may be interesting because I knew it was gonna snow eventually, but it totally started like 6 hours early... so I decided to document the whole experience and I got it all from the first sleet to the final dash home... unfortunately... I took the pics towards my back window and the big hooded jacket blocked every pic so I picked the best of the worst.. so here we go...

It was just starting to sleet...
And then the sleating became snowing ...
And the it started to stick ... like a magnet
I even saw an accident ...stupid hood covered up the busted van and the two cop cars ;-(
I finally drove down my street where I skidded the length of the property when I tried to turn into the driveway...
Pics are horrible I know... sorry :-(

::Conclusion::
When I finally pushed my windthrashed door open and climbed out my car //que background choir singing ominus lyrics// ... I mustered a look up the street and then in amazement I looked down the street ... It was unbelievable... The wind was totally whippin'... Everything was in like a white fog... You could see no individual snowflakes... Super cold air made my fingers stiff... I was like half disorintated... and it was only a few minutes...
I totally mad dashed thru my front door... when I looked back to the outside and it was like as if it was at night but instead of everything being black it was all white... I could not make out a single object that was not within arms length... totally crazy...
It was so worse than the blizzardizzel... for sure!

In a word... supercoldairfromtheupperpartofthetroposphere...
