What a day....

I have had it with the snow and it's just the beginning!

My son had a post op doctors appointment this morning at 11:30.

I woke up at 6am, no new snow. I watched as dark ominous clouds dropped lower and lower.
As the time to leave came closer, it started to snow.

But not a lot... just a few light flakes.

No big deal, I cleared snow a few days prior and even sanded the drive.

So we left. No problem getting out, although the roads were really icky. They are snow packed, and sanded on hills and curves. I know how to drive them, but that in no way means that I'm not paranoid about it. So we drove carefully to town to the dr's office.

As we drove, the snow started falling thicker.

And thicker.

Well, while I am in town, I might as well shop for groceries and run a few errands. So we went to the store.

We came out and it was snowing harder!

It was a huge pain in the backside pushing a basket full of food and other things through 3 inches of snow, slush, and ice.

And then the temps started warming up.

Uh oh.

Snow + warmer temps = slush = problem getting up driveway. At least it was at the old house.

Please, oh please, stay cold enough just so I can get home, THEN warm up and melt this snow!

As I drive home, the snow stops and the clouds clear. I was SO happy!

But then I turned to go up my drive and the next thing I know, I'm stuck in a berm.

Great.

I nearly burst into tears because all I wanted was to get inside and have some tea and relax. But then a super nice lady - and I wish I got her name - stopped and asked if I would like some help.

YES!!

She had a big SUV and I have tow hooks on my car. I grabbed one of hubby's chains that he uses when he falls trees and we hooked up. She pulled me out of the berm and onto the road where I could drive to a flat spot and put my chains on.

She even helped me put my chains on.

With my chains, I zoomed up the drive, parked, and ran back out to thank her.

She was gone.

I have no idea who she was, or where she lives, but THANK YOU!!!

Now I can have my tea, and some chocolate....
