Blizzard

Okay, okay so we had a blizzard...I was totally excited, but because it is my first blizzard I felt I was entitled to some level of excitement. Yes?

While I am still excited because there is a substantial amount of snow on the ground and still falling; I am also disappointed. Every county around us, except for 1 is in a 'State of Emergency' which means you are not allowed on the road and will be ticketed if you are. The only way for me to get a snow day would be for this to happen in our county...but no. I am here, at work. Thankfully The Mr. did not go to work today and was able to get me to work. I really would not be here if it were not for him digging my car out and driving me here. Oh, did I mention that we got stuck 2 times on the way to work? And once was as we were turning onto my company road/parking lot?!?

So far we have gotten mostly snow with some sleet mix. This is good, because freezing rain and ice would be much worse and people would probably lose electricity fairly quickly. As far as I know there are no power outages in our area...yet. We well see!

The snow is still falling, but I did snap some pictures last night on my way home and then this morning. Here is what our town looks like today:

This was taken as I was driving home from work on Tuesday evening. The snow starting blowing around 4:30pm and a little after 5, so much had already fallen!

This is real, my camera was NOT on the black and white setting!



Drifts between our cars this morning...




That is A LOT of snow!



Drifts and an apartment building in our complex...

My sweet husband shoveling the snow so we can get my car out!

Soooo thankful for him!

Glad I had on these boots, which btw I almost lost in the snow at one point!



Can you see how deep my footprint is?






Warm and bundled up!

Still snowing...view from work.



Work parking lot, they are filling dump trucks with snow and hauling them to another property. There is so much snow! Also, more cars are showing up!

I hope to get out this evening after work and take some pictures downtown and around the library. The buildings are so pretty anyways, so I can only imagine what the courthouse looks like covered in over a foot of snow! I will post pictures and stories when they happen, so hold tight folks! If you are being effected by this blizzard or winter storm, stay warm and inside! If you are in Florida...soak up some sun for me :)
