Brrrrrrr!
Once again, we are thrown in the throes of the Arctic tundra! The high temperatures today are a whopping -11, with -50 below wind chills!
Yesterday was just plain nasty! The snow accumulation 5-8 in the metro area wasn’t the issue, it was the wind blowing it around that made travel downright hazardous.
Hubs left for the ranch yesterday morning and called back advising me to pack a bag, stating “if it keeps this up all day long, neither of us will get home.” I was a little bit miffed, as T tends to be on the pessimistic side of life. However, as my 4Runner was getting hung up on snow drifts on my way to town, I was a little glad that I humored him and packed a bag, preparing for 1 or two days in town .
Yes folks, I stayed at my sister Peggy’s last night. When I emailed her with the subject line stating “Reservations Desk Please,” she didn’t even hesitate and said “The Inn is open.” God Bless her! After shoveling her walkways and getting the vehicle parking situation figured out (would it be better for me to park on the street or back by the garage – protected from wind?), we settled in to a nice night of conversation, good food, and WINE! Yippee!
Now, I don’t want any of you to think that all we do is drink wine when I get snowed in. Well….. Ok, maybe it is, but that’s beside the point! (hahahaha) We had fun, that’s the main thing.! I did have a tad bit of a headache this morning though, so I’m thinking we should have stopped at one bottle and not opened the second – though we didn’t finish the 2nd bottle. (That, folks, is an improvement! ) J
Winter officially bites – but staying with my sister sure makes it bearable.
