This was a pretty yucky morning...We feel asleep to freezing rain snow mix of stuff and woke up to it as well...Finally around 11am the sleet stopped. Before then all you could see out the front door was a ice slide to the street, scary. This type of weather always leaves you making the work call, to go or not to go. I was totally planning on going,honestly I wanted to go, Pim showed up around 10:30. Poor girl she got stuck in our neighborhood and had to get dug out by one of the builders. I guess that is one of the benefits of new construction, everywhere.
Pim and I were now outside my house trying to figure out where to put her car...we could not just leave it in the street with the hazards on, well we could of but Pim would not let me...being it was her car and all...lol.
I looked up and saw a big old truck coming down the street, driving it was my old neighbor Gary. He was picking up people for work in the company truck, saw us in the street so he had to stop, we were blocking the road... haha. He said hi and then drove his truck through the snow so we could park Pim's car. It was turning out to be a lucky day, for us anyway. You can see in the pic where we put her car. I tried to move it in closer but it was stuck, again...oops, lol.
Chris left for work and ended up coming home because his car got stuck in the alley behind our house...I guess they did not see a need to plow the alley since that is where all the garages are...I mean really who parks in the garage or driveway.
Anyway my car was frozen shut it had about 2 inches of ice covering the entire thing and it was sitting in frozen snow, you know the kind you can walk on without sinking in, since it was parked out front so it also had plow snow on one side... What a mess. Finally I gave up shoveled the walk and started doing laundry... good thing I had Emma and Pim to help.
Hopefully tomorrow the drive in won't be so bad.
Happy Valentine's Day...:)

Funny, about 10 states away and we had almost the same thing. Except ours wasn't as much ice as it was plain ol' snow. Going on Day 2 of sleepin in. Yahoo!
