Today is Sunday evening, but lets take a journey back in time to Thursday night, it started snowing. Light and fluffy, pretty little flakes of Hollywood movies. It snowed all night and into the next day. Friday was mostly clear but in the afternoon things started to turn. Since Friday night it has snowed pretty much non-stop. We accumulated 14 inches as of Saturday night. It was amazing I don't think in my whole life I have seen so much light fluffy snow fall at one time. Sunday was another story, we got 1/2 inch of ice on top of the snow and then it snowed another 3 inches on top of that!
(This is my moms truck parked on the street in front of my house Sat. night)One of my neighbors thought they would try to get their sedan (without studded tires OR chains) out into the street, well they made it half way there and got stuck. And in the process of trying to get his car back into his garage he shoveled, sanded and dug out down to his grass. At one point he was driving forward and caught traction and ran over his shovel, it flipped over and stuck into his radiator. Poor guy, it just wasn't meant to be.

We started prepping for this storm back on Wednesday and haven't been out of the house since Friday morning. Most all of the towns and businesses and even roads are closed down right now. People talk about getting to work tomorrow and I honestly don't see how that is going to happen. The weather dudes are saying we should get another 6-10 inches by noon tomorrow. It just isn't letting up.
