Last week on Friday we had some freaky weather — it was sunny, first of all (which was very weird since it feels like we haven’t seen the sun since October), and then dark and cloudy, then rainy, then came big fluffy snowflakes, and then rain again. Just my luck, I was on my bike headed to/from work during both rain sessions.
But I still wasn’t expecting full-on snowy rooves this weekend. I snapped these pictures a couple of minutes ago. I’m hopeful that all this stuff on the tops of the buildings isn’t indicative of the street conditions below. Slush makes for an unpleasant bike ride.
I thought for sure there was a word “rooves.” Justification: hoof/hooves. Just to make sure I’m not crazy, I checked http://www.m-w.com and found that the pronunication I was going for is acceptable under the spelling “roofs”: turn your speakers up a bit and click this to hear it.
Mom gets +5 points for spotting the spelling mistake. I get -2 points for making the spelling mistake. The English language gets -12 Brazilian points for its spelling/pronunciation inconsistencies.
OK, is there really a word “rooves”? Do you mean roofs?
