Maybe the Storm Chaser sequel should be about a blizzard instead of a tornado; I've got plenty of experience with snowstorms. We got clobbered pretty good last night by half a foot or snow of wet, heavy snow on top of a couple of inches of rain -- lots of slide-offs, power outages, trees down and such. It's not over yet, either: The roads are in horrible shape.
I have a feeling the Midwest is about to have the kind of winter the East Coast had last year.
I think we all will have that kind of winter this year. They said it was going to be a rough one.
ReplyDeleteI've been predicting a rough winter for over a month now ... sadly, my predictions are usually only right when it's a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteWriting a blizzard into the book is certainly the sort of thing that would cast a bigger disaster zone then a tornado itself. It's something you could always run with.
ReplyDeleteI aways talk about how much I love snow, but I could certainly do w/out blizzards this year!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, William ... however, I like to write upbeat, humerous stuff, and when I think about winter weather I'm pretty much the exact opposite. Could I do an entire novel about a snowstorm without self-medicating myself with alcohol or giving myself a concussion by banging my head against the wall? I might have to find out ...
ReplyDeleteChristy, even those insane people who like snow can't possible want a blizzard!
