Snow storm warning, indeed!
It came... It saw... It conquered... with a vengeance!
It snowed all day yesterday and overnight, and it was right around freezing, so this snow is HEAVY! All I can say is: It's a good thing I didn't have to go into work today. :) Today is the first day off for me for Christmas/New Year's, and I won't be returning until Jan. 3! Anyway, I bet there's about a foot of the stuff on the ground. Erik had a hard time getting out of the driveway this morning, because the snow is piled so high as the bottom of the driveway due to snowplows coming through. Beth, my sis-in-law, backed out of her driveway this morning to go to work, and she got stuck in the snow on her street. They haven't even plowed her road, apparently!
It took about about an hour and fifteen minutes to get home from work yesterday, and I waited until rush hour was over. I didn't go faster than 35 mph the whole drive home, so it took me about twice as long to get home. The roads and freeways weren't plowed.Before this whole thing is over, it's supposed to snow more today, LOL! Tomorrow and Christmas, it's supposed to stop snowing, but be really, really cold, meaning single digit temps! Brrrr!! Well, I wanted a white Christmas, and I got one, all right, but I didn't need quite this much snow. Eleven inches would have sufficed, LOL! (sarcasm)
See, those of you who live where they close down everything when you get a mere two inches of snow? This is what a snowstorm is! I'd love to see the reaction of someone from a warmer climate is they had to spend a winter in Ohio, LOL! We still have to go to work, and stores are still open. It's just amusing how people react. :)
