We awoke the next day to a more normal(正常的)temperature of31 degrees, but that was short-lived since the temperature continued to drop. Our Channel 2 weather man P.J.Hoffon his evening broadcast of Jan. 25, told us to expect freezingrain(冻雨),but the snow started falling in the early morning hours of Thursday,Jan. 26.We were told to prepare for 4-8 inches of snow - not the 23 inches that would finally arrive.
The city was paralyzed(瘫痪)by the snowstorm Mayor Daley ordered the city workers to work around the clock to clear the streets. but the snow fell faster than they could plow(清扫). By Friday the whole city was shut down.
No one at our house went to work or school.Ten feet of snow blocked our door. At first it was fun to be free of school, but we soon earned we would be locked in our home Little did we know that our snow day would grow into four days of being trapped inside our house.
After a good 24 hours of staying at home, my sister, brother and I were all very bored and driving the adults in the house crazy.They suggested we take our shovels(铲) and gooutside challenging us to dig a way to the street.
We were excited to have something to do.Before we made it out the door, our mother asked us to take our brother Robert, who was only about 4 years old at the time.
We began digging, but not thinking ahead we threw each shovel full of snow over our shoulders,filling in the road behind us. When we reached the street, we turned to admire our work only to realize we had filled in the road back to the house.We would need to start shoveling all over again.
