Almost Armageddon - March Saturday the Thirteenth

For the last couple of months, it seems like Armageddon has come earlier than 2012 :-). We had been experiencing one of the harshest winter with snow accumulating, sometimes, close to two feet. With snow everywhere - thick slabs on the roofs, knee-high snow on the porch and the patio, the trees and the branches bowed down with the weight of the snow - it seemed like the Ice Age was here. I could imagine how it would feel if an Ice Age really came.

With the winter hardly behind us, pockets of snow still frozen solid on the ground, we are experiencing an ominous stormy day with chilly temperature, howling wind blowing at about 65 miles per hour and heavy downpour. The day has been dark since morning; gusty wind slamming against the house, rattling the roofs and shaking the house. Two huge evergreen trees toppled over in the lawn of our neighbor and destroyed the front part of her house :-(.
