Thought I would write something about the month gone by and boy are we happy to see it go bye bye.I wasn't one bit surprised to see that I hadn't written anything in February.It was such a snowy month that we spent most of it inside and off of the roads.Needless to say there wasn't much to write about except for snow and more snow.
Our small city has broken its all time snow fall record.Not sure how much above we are now.We have now broken the all time winter snowfall record of 80 inches.That is one record that we never wanted to break!
I took this picture looking out our front door a few minutes ago.Schools are opening on a 2 hour delayed basis this morning.I am praying that the school buses and parents cars arrives safely since the back roads such as ours are still snow and ice covered.
Wait....news flash....the sun just appeared.Boy,oh,boy is that ever nice to see.The roads should be in much better conditions by the end of the school day.
There have been quite a few times in February that we spent inside days on end.The last string happened from last Wednesday to yesterday.We had a blizzard warning and a winter storm warning.Yesterday after shoveling our driveway once again we decided that we wanted to get out for awhile.After we got the driveway shoveled it started snowing again!
The new snow didn't stop us.We ventured out to Applebee's and had a wonderful meal.What a time we had getting back up our hill.We live on a hill and when it is snow and ice covered it can be quite a task getting your car up the hill.The snow plow had been through earlier in the day.We didn't have any problems getting down our hill going out to eat but coming back up the hill was a whole other story thanks to the new snow fall.
Glad we finally made it to our driveway but it was quite an ordeal since we got stuck a few times.Thanks to a car wanting by us they nicely made tracks in the road so Ken was able to follow the tracks of the car ahead of us and made it into our driveway.I felt bad for that car since they couldn't make it all of the way up the hill but made it to our neighbor's driveway just above us.They turned around slowly in our neighbor's driveway and came back down.We are so thankful that we don't live any further up the hill since a lot of people up that way really struggle to get their cars up the hill in these wintry conditions.I am sure some have bought 4 wheel drive vehicles since we do see vehicles going up our hilly street and not struggling.
