Snow 2014 Part 2

This is one of the streets in the neighborhood, solid ice.

 One of the hills close to the house.  I choose not to go up this hill last night on my way home from work.  Instead I picked the small hill.  There are 13 cars sitting along the road.  By afternoon the cars were all gone and the road was in decent shape.

Ethel does not like the snow.  She tried as much as she could to pee any where except where there was snow!

 The gas meter is frozen!  There was a huge ice cycle hanging above it and dripping down on it!

Eddie built a snow man in the front yard and because the sun shines more in the front, he moved it to the back where it would last longer.  

The snowman made it to the back yard!!

Snow 2014

 It started to snow on Wednesday around 10am.  It continued all day and was finally slowing down around 9pm when I got home from work.

My normal 15 minute commute took me 1 hour and 30 minutes.  I didn't have any problems until I got to a slight hill near Eddies high school.  Several cars where trying to go up the hill, and I think too fast and they were getting stuck spinning their wheels or were ending up in the ditch.  Once those drivers got their cars back down the hill, I was able to go up.  Slow and steady and a few prayers and I made it with no problems at all.

This is the view from the hospital.  I was glad to have a big window so I could watch the snow.

It was too dark when I got home last night to take any pictures  last night so I took these this morning.

 Eddie made a snowman when he got home from school yesterday.  Not bad for a southern boy!!

Kaila had to drive home from her school where she was student teaching.  She has never really driven in snow so I told her to take it slow.  She said it took her 1 hour and 30 minutes also.  Normal commute is 30 minutes.  She left about 2 hours after it started to snow.  I dont think her car has ever had good old northern slush on it!!

Kids are out of school today and possibly tomorrow too if this stuff doesn't melt.   I, on the other hand, have to work on tomorrow and the next day.
