ABC Wednesday's this week prompt is the alphabet A. I was anyway planning to pen down my one of a kind experience of the Polar Vortex and this coincided perfectly. So here it goes:
A for the Arctic BlastA is for Arctic Blast. The deep freeze that forced us to spend an entire week locked up inside. Temperature dropped lower than that of the North Pole. It was a crazy experience: when we visited the local Meijer to stock up our supply the day before, we found empty racks upon empty racks, and huge lines behind the billing counters, something I had never known before.It started Sunday afternoon and till Friday morning, we could do nothing but to stay inside and watch the local news that showed calamities happening around with no end. When we peeped outside through the patio door, it looked like this:A for the Arctic Blast
But even this intense snowstorm couldn’t deter my photography enthusiast husband. So here he is, all wrapped up and out in the white taking pictures. A for the Arctic BlastThank God its all well now and we didn’t face any burst pipe or damaged sprinkler system like many others we know did. We stayed inside, spent some quality times together and did a lot of baking.A for the Arctic Blast
