Winter Wonderland

I decided to wash my car yesterday afternoon. I couldn't tell my car was blue because of all of the salt & dirt on it. I pulled it in the driveway around 5 last night and felt good about my decision to wash it. It had been a beautiful day and I assumed the nice weather would continue through the weekend. That was a horrible assumption! When I first woke up, I glanced out the window. I saw snow, but without my contacts or glasses, I couldn't tell how bad it really was. So... I opened the front door and this is what I saw! It was beautiful but crazy!

I took this picture from my bedroom.

Opening the back door wasn't a good idea, but I had to see how deep it was!

Another picture from my bedroom, looking at Chris's house & tree.

Another bedroom shot. This is to show the pile of snow on the southwest corner of the street. It's been there since the end of November and the plows just keep adding to it. I bet it will be here till April! It's at least 10 feet high and who knows how wide! One car can barely go around the corner. If the snow keeps coming like it has, I wouldn't be surprised if the corner ends up being completely blocked by the pile.

After I first saw the snow (and before I took all of these pictures) I told Amy (my roommate) that I wasn't sure we should go to church. Our neighbor pulled out of his driveway and got stuck. We had to help push him back in his garage! Just before 9, we were informed that church was cancelled! I know I shouldn't have been excited, but it made me feel better that it was cancelled and that I wasn't just wimping out and staying home. This winter has been one of the craziest I've lived in. I think it has snowed every other day for the last month! I'm sick of it but I'm learning to deal with it. I hate driving in it but I can't do anything about it. I love days like today when I know I can just stay home and avoid the other crazies on the road.

I think I need a sled and a good team of dogs. I'm sure Iron Will is somewhere close by...
