October Storm part II

On my way home I received a telephone call from Amy (the GF). "Are you liking the snow?" "yeah, I know, it's actually sticking down here." I arrived at the University and attended class. All through the class the snow came down. I was dressed in a suit and nice shoes and was not looking forward to having to walk in that. Luckily I had my huge golf umbrella that would save my suit. The shoes would take a beating, though. About 6 inches of snow fell in the three hours that the class was in session. So I move my car over to the University Apartments and seek refuge inside Amy's place. I stayed ther over night. The next morning was very surreal. From the living room window we could see the campus, and the entire place was covered in two feet of snow. That was not the only thing I noticed, either. One of the trees was missing and every other one looked different some how. I had to get to my apartment. So I, still in my suit, and Amy exited the building through a door that could only open just far enough tyo let us out of it because the snow lay holding it shut. We began to wipe the two feet of snow off of her truck with our bare hands. The suit got wet, but luckily it was not wool, so nothing seriousely bad happened to it. We had qute a lot of trouble getting the car out of the parking space since the university always seems determined to plow every car in. We left the oddly different campus and prepared for a very interesting drive through town. Few things could have prepared us for what we saw on the ride home.
