Electric Snow.

(my superhero disguise, just in case)
The first snow of the season has hit Washington DC. People out here don’t handle themselves well in poor weather. Folks from Utah (like me and Jared) laugh at the small amount of snow that causes a state of emergency out here. With even a threat of snow, schools shut down and everybody panics. One inch of the white stuff, now that’s when people start thinking about beefing up on food storage because the end must surely be on its way. Since it has been so cold lately, I’ve been dressing like any self-respecting Utah girl would, all bundled up in my long black North Face coat and tall grey ugg boots. Mysteriously, since I’ve been wearing them, I’ve become electrified. I get shocked several times a day - mostly when I touch metal objects. The shocks come when I least expect them, with a wicked zap and sometimes a little spark coming out of my pointer finger. Maybe I’m becoming a superhero, or maybe I’m about to be struck by lightning. Either way, it should make for an exciting day.

I think your superhero persona should be Hummus Girl. Her super power would be her garlic breath.
