To create a coherent sequence of events, the responses can be arranged as follows:
-
I watched the weather forecast with a mixture of excitement and dread. Meteorologists were predicting that a huge snowstorm would bring a foot of snow to our state!
-
I’m standing outside and letting the flakes accumulate on my jacket and hat.
-
I’m sure I will need to do a lot of shoveling, but right now that doesn’t concern me in the least.
This sequence effectively conveys the progression from anticipation of the storm, experiencing it, and then reflecting on the inevitable aftermath.
