The Storm!

Gaylord hasn't been whomped (a made up word) on with snow since....while, last winter. Two days ago it started snowing and it is no where near ready to stop. Day number one we got hit the worst, I would say Gaylord got a good 14 inches of snow. Trust me, it took twice as long as it normally takes me to snow blow the driveway. A fun activity! The road commission has a huge budget crisis, just like the rest of the state of Michigan. To me that means the potential of getting stuck. One swipe down the main drag by the plow truck didn't cut it for a lot of people. It took me twice as long to get to work that next day and I counted 6 cars stuck in the road (yup, in the road) just trying to get to the main road. Thank God for 4 wheel drive or else I wouldn't have been able to make it anywhere and would probably have been one of the cars stuck in the road. Most of the side roads still aren't plowed and I do feel bad for the people who live down there and have to try and get out. After the big dumping we have continued to accumulate an endless amount of snow with some freezing rain in the mix. I must say though, I actually love big storms, snow blowing, and an endless amount of shoveling. Honestly.
