Cold One Day Snow The Next Day...

On Sunday afternoon, we went out to brunch and there were a few little snowflakes here and there, nothing too big, but by dinner time we had about 1 inch of snow. We had my nephew over, so Spencer and I took him sledding a bit, but the snow wasn't sticky enough to make a snowman.



Since Sunday evening, it has since snowed so much more then I was expecting, in such a short time.

The Tuesday morning I went to the post office to drop off a package... only a few blocks away, but I got stuck coming out of the parking lot, going up the hill... a very slight incline. I ended up having to go down the hill, and go all the way around to drive on the compacted or main streets that were a bit flatter. I made it home safely, but I'm not planning on going anywhere I don't need to.

The weather report had said on Monday that there was going to be a blizzard in the evening on Tuesday, so my hubby and my in-laws decided to stay up in Omaha and get a hotel up close by where they work... because you really don't want to be out in that kind of weather, you have little to no visibility.




By morning I could see how much it had snowed.... a good 6 inches on top of what had already fallen!!! So this morning I had my work cut out for me to clear the snow off the driveway, walk, and car. It took me about an hour to unbury our car and shovel the driveway. I'm planning on leaving an hour before I'm scheduled to work in case I get stuck in the snow... our little car doesn't have to much weight behind it, so it has a tough time in the snow. I'm also planning on bringing the snow shovel and scrapper should anything happen.




We are definitely getting a white Christmas this year!
