I need a truck! But then I think of how it cost me 50 bucks to fill up my small car, and I am glad that's all. But still! I got to school fine. Highway number 9 had two nice ruts for me to follow cautiously to the city. I managed to park ok. Then about noon I went to my car to get some gym clothes and the snow was coming down like crazy. I made it there and back, with a little difficulty, and was surprised to find that so much snow had fallen my purse was filled with snow! I've never had that happen before.
Then, I was leaving the cramped parking lot downtown when my car wouldn't move. It was stuck! So I had to do some maneuvering and finally got it out. Then I went to my Granny's and the street wasn't plowed and got stuck trying to park on the street because i didn't dare try to go in her unplowed driveway. An observation though, was the amount of people I saw outside! It was like every second house there was a male furiously shoveling the snow out of the driveway. I didn't see any accidents, thank God for that.
All this snow is great for the snowmobilers and snowboarders, but it's bad for those of us that live on water. We have a creek in our backyard and in 2009 it was so high it looked like a river. It drops about 25 feet down and the water was all the way up to the grass level with teh house-no flooding though. But if it's any worse this year, I'll be sandbagging like crazy! But hopefully all the snow won't melt at once and we'll be ok.
I got home from school and figured I could help out my parents and shovel the driveway myself. I was the only one on my street doing it though! I thought there would have been more, but a lot of them had already been done. Mom didn't believe that I have shoveled it myself. She was convinced that one of the neighbors had done it with a snow blower.
