Today, we're going to do

Today, we're going to do a little vocabulary building exercise.

We're going to learn a new word...

Nor'easter.

It's a strange looking word, for sure. But did you know that it means, HUGE NORTH EASTERN SNOWSTORM OF MASSIVE BIGGITUDE? Well it does, Sally Joe.

Now I know what you're thinking. Why in Heaven's Gate would I ever need to pass said word out of my lips?

Well if you would so happen to live here in good old Norwalk, you might want to turn to the mailman and say, "Hiya mailman! Can you believe the amount of snow this NOR'EASTER is attacking us with?"

And then that mailman, also privy to the word, would say "I simply cannot! This NOR'EASTER is positively dumping and dumping down snow!"

Another time that you may have to unleash your new found vocab word, is if you had any plans whatsoever for the weekend. You'd find yourself turning to your significant other halfway out the door and saying, "Well honey, I was going to go buy dinner, but that goddam NOR'EASTER's snow has swallowed the family vehicle. And besides, the only thing traversing these frozen roads are sleighs!"

Then Mary would say, "And look... the NOR'EASTER's wrath has caused the mailman to wrap the mailtruck around a tree and die."

So there it is folks! So much snow already, and it's barely begun! Now I have an excuse to stay home and be unsocial! Because I have no choice!
