This piece was to be creative about the weather, I chose to write a script for a news report.
Squall-apocalypse
Dee Dee: “Reporting Live from Center Street in Provo, Alice Ficklin”
Alice Ficklin: “Thanks Dee Dee. The winter squall storm has hit Central Utah. Wind gusts were near 60 miles an hour earlier this morning as snow swelled due to lake effect. Valley floors were covered with two inches while the benches had six to eight inches. Money may not buy you happiness, but snow can bring happiness and isolation.
A two hour delayed start was ordered by The Provo City School District, which actually gave some parents the opportunity to both drop their kids off on time AND feed them whereas on normal days they have to pick one or the other.
This reporter feels the district made a good call today, yet the son of this reporter still thinks it should have been a full snow day. Back to you Tom and Dee Dee.”
