Wired Wednesday

My goodness what a mess this weekend was!!! We were going to spend the day Monday with our granddaughter who didn't have pre-school OR daycare that day. Sunday afternoon, the forecast changed drastically and included freezing rain, so we decided to go up on Sunday and spend the night so our daughter and son-in-law wouldn't be in a lurch on Monday. When we woke up and looked at the radar for our house, we were glad we made that decision!!! Then about an hour later, it started snowing at our daughter's house. Suddenly, they are under a winter storm warning, she is in town a good 30 minutes away and the snow is coming down to beat the band!!! Her supervisor told her that everyone in the office was leaving and our daughter should leave too because otherwise she could get stuck in the parking lot which is in the middle of nowhere and there wouldn't be anyone around to help her out. She reluctantly left. Then, I get a frantic phone call from her that she can't see the state highway. . .and when she got in town, the street to her house had SO much snow that she couldn't get into her driveway. My husband shoveled snow at their house all day yesterday and figures they had a good 9 inches of snow. When we left, the road to town hadn't been cleared and it was really difficult to drive on. The interstate wasn't much better and when we got to the 4-lane highway to get home, we ran into the snow-ice line. A trip that normally takes around an hour and a quarter took 3 hours!!! There was a good quarter inch of ice on everything when we got home. . .fast forward 24 hours and it is 45-degrees now. All of the snow / ice is melting and now the streets are flooded and the potholes are horrendous!!! UGH!!! The forecast for Thursday is severe storms - goodness!!!
