Welcome to March
WOW! What a loud entrance March made!!! Yet again they were calling for snow here but we never really believed we were going to get any. Last time they called for it here we woke up to not even a sight of white anywhere. So at last, last night the long awaited snow arrived. It started snowing around 5:30. Of course we went out and played some but mainly we sat under our carport in amazement at the size of the snowflakes and at the rate they were coming down. By the time we went to bed we were up about 4.5 inches. Morning comes and I could tell that there must have still been snow on the ground because it looked like daylight coming from the blinds it was so bright. Took one look out the window and WOW....It was everywhere! I think total we got about 6-6.5 inches on the ground! Of course all schools, daycares, and a lot of jobs were closed for a big fun SNOW DAY! Sometime during the night the temp slipped from 36 degrees to a bone chilling 25 degrees so the roads were a mess. We were watching CNN Headline news and they were reporting from our very own exit we take to get home. Miles and miles of 18 wheelers were stuck on the interstate not able to make it up the hill due to ice. They said there had been upward of 300 wrecks overnight and warned that if you decided to drive that you were taking it into your own hands. If you wrecked it would probably take hours for rescue squads to get to you. So of course there was no driving. We did however have to take a walk to the store. We didn't prepare for this snow we knew that we weren't going to get so of course we were out of milk, dog food, breakfast items....All sorts of must haves....so off we went on our mile and a half trek there and then a mile and a half back. I was starting to think we were crazy for walking but we passed 2 other couples doing the same thing!! It was crazy! Once we got back we treated ourselves to a little steak and eggs on the grill and then headed inside where it was nice and toasty. We've ventured out some throughout the day today to go play in the snow but mostly have viewed it from afar. I love it while its here. And I love a really good snow once every year or so but then I'm ready to get back to nice warm weather. I hope this was Old Man Winters last little hoopla before spring finally arrives.
