The snow kept coming down. I didn't think it was ever going to stop. The outdoors turned ghostly white. Would Wei be able to find his way to us?

Wei was late. He is never late. He is ALWAYS early. When I expressed my concerns to my mother, she didn't believe me at all.
I had seen snow before, but this was worse. Would we get trapped inside our house, buried beneath many feet of snow forever?!
Where WERE you?
Shoveling the walkway!
I tried to distract myself by reading, but the power suddenly went out. I heard a strange scratching sound outside. It echoed in the still, black night.
Was there an ice monster outside? My mother brought in a lantern. She was perfectly calm and not worried about the ice monster eating Wei! Then I heard the door open and close!
Wei had arrived over an hour before, and he had been clearing out the snow to our door! No ice monster, and with Wei's help, we won't be buried forever.
