Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

YAY! Finally, Nebraska got in on some snow action! I love it and we completely got pummeled with a whole lot of snow! It started snowing last night before I got home from work. Ryan got home first and called to warn me that the roads were terrible. By the time I got done with work, there were literally no cars {well, I take that back, maybe there were like five cars} out on the road. So I just traveled slowly and made it home safe and sound. I had to be at work at 6 am this morning. Went to the garage to get in my vehicle and noticed - woah - we got a lot more snow than I think the weather man was projecting. My explorer was pushing snow as I backed out the driveway and the plow hadn't been through {which was actually a good thing....just keep reading} and the roads in our subdivision were terrible.  I didn't dare stop. I just kept driving as I didn't want to get stuck. I finally made it out to the main road which had one lane in each direction plowed. I made it to work and called Ryan to wake him up and inform him of all the snow that was outside. There is no way Ryan's car would have even made it out of the driveway let alone out of the neighborhood without getting stuck. Ryan's clinic got cancelled so Ryan had a nice snow day at home {taking care of all the snow!}. The ICU never closes so I was glad I had a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get me there. Ryan estimates at least 12 inches of snow in the driveway, maybe even 14. Northern Omaha definitely got more snow then the area around the med center. Ryan shoveled part of the driveway and then a neighbor let him borrow their snow blower. Once Ryan finished, the plow came through the neighborhood {this was at about 11:30!}. Check out the snow removed from the driveway and the snow the plow dumped at the end of the driveway. Ryan strategically placed the shovel to give everybody some perspective :)


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!! :)
