Snowed in

   This is only the third time in my life that I can remember snow falling at such a rate that there was thunder and lightning. I made a cup of coffee and put on my Carhart snow suit to go across the street for a news paper, but I got to the corner of the street and could see that the store had not even opened.
  I remember the blizzard of '78, but even that was not as difficult to walk through. This snow is heavy and wet. Usually, this wet, and heavy snow passes more quickly than light dry snow, but this is piling up very fast.
