Snow, snow, and more snow!

Last night we got hit with a HUGE storm! There was at least a foot of snow on the road. I left for work, but it was quickly clear that the roads were worse than they looked. I only made it three miles down the road before I decided to turn back. It wasn't worth going into a ditch or getting into an accident. So I called in and stayed home today. Melinda made it work, but it took her three times as long as normal. It continued to snow until about 3:00 pm. I took a few photos when I went out to get the mail.

There is a road out there somewhere - The view from the computer room while it was still snowing.

I think my car is under there somewhere

Our road - isn't it lovely?

We've got mail! - Somehow the mailperson was able to deliver our mail despite the mountains of snow in front of the mailbox.

Someone sent us snow! LOL

Melinda finally made it home despite getting stuck at one point on our road. The guy who plows our driveway for us came and got it all plowed out, which was good. Of course its all blowing and drifting now. We have a bunch of errands to run tomorrow, so hopefully they can plow the road a bit before then.

I did get some work done on a few scrapbooking layouts. Britt released a really cool new template back today, "Inspired by Kate."

I was able to scrap a page with it:

That's all for now! Gotta get back to work on the layout I'm working on of the Christmas walk from last weekend. :)

Later!
