I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.....

I should have known better!  I couldn't drive my car through the water like a boat in the Flood of 2007 and guess what?....my car cannot ski it's way through 3 and 4 ft drifts either in the 16"+ Snowstorm of 2009! 

I went to the Scrapbook Cottage (or rather tried) at 10:15 am.  Mary & Traci could not make it in, so I offered to put a sign on the door and cancel the class for tonight also.  No problem, Jeff had snowblowed for 4 hours (he did a few neighbors too).  I got in the car, made it down Prairie Rd and on to Campus Drive and POW, hit a drift that was 3 to 4 feet high! Yep...I am stuck!  Had to call my neighbor Bill and he picked up Jeff in his truck and they came to my rescue.  They had to shovel me out and then push!  The blowing snow (40 mph) made it totally impassable.  AFTER I was stuck, I realized that the plow had never been on the side of the road that I was on and there was only a small lane going down the other side.  It was white out conditions and I didn't know until my car stopped!  By the way, as I was stranded in the middle of the road, the city Plow came up behind me, went around me, and continued. Nice. The mailman told Jeff he had got stuck 5 times.  Good grief......I went back home and here I stayed!  Jeff is off work today, but most businesses are closed anyway. 

Stay Warm & Dry......
