Yowzers! I went out to pick up lunch today. On the way out, the weather was clear. It was a little overcast, but nothing bad. When I got to the restaurant I noticed that it got very grey and it had started to snow. When I got out, I noticed that the skies had gone white and there was snow EVERYWHERE. Welcome to a squall. Driving in this weather was very dangerous, but disturbingly fun. Not being able to see more than a few meters ahead, and careening down the streets. It's like a game or something. Okay, I'm kidding, I wasn't careening down the streets, but I did feel the urge to drive like a maniac just to see what it was like. I eventually made it back to the office in one piece. Had this squall hit during rush hour, I don't think anyone would've been able to get home tonight. *looks outside* It's clear again. I guess I have to patrol tonight.
Oh, I've been thinking of some interesting events in the past couple of decades: The fall of the WTC, Princess Diana's death, the Challenger explosion. I actually remember where I was when I heard the news.
Can you remember where you guys were? Do you have any other events that have stuck in your memory?

I was at home, and I woke up just after the WTC thing. My mom told me that a terrible thing had just happened and I watched the replay on TV.
I was in Ottawa for my DREO workterm, and just got home after a night out with some friends when my roommate told me that Princess Di was dead.
The Challenger exploded?

Let's see.. I was in math class when the challenger exploded. Oddly enough, they sent us home for the rest of the day!
I was at work on a nice sunny afternoon on Sept 11, and ended up listening to it all unfold over an Internet radio broadcast from the States.
And I can honestly say I have no idea whatsoever where I was when Di died.

I guess I'm going to add the fact that I had just woken up and was surfing the internet when I read about the Columbia Explosion.
