Where's the Road

Yesterday morning I awoke to the wind blowing hard.

We were supposed to get a storm over night that would bring snow.

I looked out the kitchen window and there really wasn't much new snow to speak of.

I got ready for work.

Just before leaving the house my phone rang, it was Kristee letting me know that the schools were on a two hour delay due to the weather conditions.

I asked, "what weather conditions?"

She then told me that town received a lot of snow over night and the roads and hwy were a mess!

 

Hubby said not to worry, as he was heading to town early for parts, and would behind me all the way.

So we headed out.

As we started the climb out of the valley, the snow got deeper and deeper.

Nobody else had been over the road yet and I was in the lead.

 

 

I got to the top of the hill and started down the other side.

I knew I was on the road, but you couldn't see it!

It was solid snow from edge to edge!

I kind of felt like Louis and Clark...forging ahead into the unknown.

I stopped at the end of the road so I could get out and wipe off my tail lights as they were covered in packed snow.

Hubby pulled up behind me and asked if I was having a problem coming down the hill cause I was all over the road. He was laughing!

"No problem" I said, "just couldn't see the damn road!



 

The hwy was slick, so the rest of the drive to town and work was on the slow side.

We were pretty shocked when we got to town and saw all of the snow!

And what a mess!

The storm really dumped a load over most of town.

Some areas got only a few inches, while other areas got up to 12 inches!

We had 8 inches at my office!
