The Blizzard!

So, the weatherman said a huge storm was coming, a storm that would be worse than any for a decade! I was skeptical, mainly because the weatherman is mostly always wrong.  But, come Tuesday morning the snow was falling, the wind was blowing, and the temperatures were diving.  Luckily the office let us go home around 12:30 when there was only about four inches of snow....I made it home with ease, the Corolla can really handle snow packed roads. But, once home the blizzard came, but I was home so I didn't really care.  I had gone grocery shopping Monday, which was an awful idea because the store was packed! If you have never been to our Price Chopper then you would not know how nice it is to go to because there is never a crowd, but this time it was a madhouse! I was there to get stuff for dinner, the rest of the people were there to stock up before the bad weather hit.  But, I have a pretty stocked pantry, freezer, and deepfreeze so I would have been ok either way.  But, since I was held hostage in my house I made veggie beef stew, roast chicken, falafels (our vegetarian meal for the week), egg sandwiches for breakfast, and just now made brownies. Thank god I'm not home all the time because all I would be doing is cooking and eating!
This morning came and we were basically snowed in, because our cul-de-sac had not been plowed and there was no way I was getting up and shoveling the driveway when the windchill was -20ish.  So, I called in a snow day because no matter how bad it is Johnson County will not close! 

Once we got out of bed ate breakfast and lunch we finally tackled the driveway.  Zoey had fun outside with us, Sammy not so much he hates the cold and snow so he stayed inside.  Unfortunately our street still has not been plowed so who knows if I'll be able to get to work tomorrow!  Owell, I'm glad I'm a hoarder of my vacation days :)

Taking a break after all the hard work :)
