	Grammar Geek  +  282727 Wed, 18 Oct 06 06:29 PM I would suggest: I woke up to find everything was covered with snow. I woke up to drink some water. or I woke up to get a drink of water. Generally, I'd say you don't "wake up" to do something, but you "get up" to do something. You might wake up because you are so thirsty, but that's not the same.
