Thaw Out- NOT!

So I think I spoke before I should have about thawing out .lol. Its snowing here again. Last night it was snowing but we only had about 2 inches and this morning when I woke and looked out there was about 6 inches, and its still coming down. I had a First Place meeting at church last night and it was snowing but not too bad. I drove down and everything was ok, until I got out of the car in the parking lot at the church and then I was slip sliding everywhere! When we came out of our meeting it was coming down hard and the roads were getting slushy. So I was worried but I took my chances on getting home and drove up our drive. Luckily it wasnt too bad yet. Thankfully Tim's truck is 4 wheel drive so he's ok, but he still parks at the end of our drive and walks up because he doesnt want to chance it. I'm glad I dont have anywhere to drive today. lol.

Tonight we have church but I honestly think it will be canceled because its snowed a ton more since last night and I know its going to be dangerous for older folks and kids to walk in the parking lot tonight if it was last night. Im sure no one wants any one to get injured. I'm hoping the road crews come and take care of our drive tonight. They've been stopping and taking care of it for us because we do have a street sign and its paved so its technically a private road... Im thankful for that! We still walk because we dont trust the incline and the black ice but its so much easier for the walk when we dont have to crunch through a foot of snow and we know where we are putting our feet .lol.

These are just a couple of pictures that I took this morning and wanted to share. :)

[And this is the icicles hanging from our porch. I took this picture so that you could see how big and long they are!]

Wishing everyone a blessed day. I'm going to totally revamp my studio today. I think I may even paint a mural as well :) yay! I'll share pics soon!

Thawing Out... sort of


Today was the first sunny day we have had in at least a week. So we did get to thaw out a little today. I took this picture of our driveway this afternoon. In 36 hours we had some crazy weather. We were under a winter weather advisory for ice/freezing rain/snow then it changed to a flood warning and we had tons of rain and then it changed back to ice/freezing rain/snow! Eesh. The ice developed on our driveway in those 36 hours and was as you can see about a 2 inch thick solid sheet of ice. It was pretty much our entire yard and driveway like that. We have to park at the end of our very long and steep driveway and hike up & down it to get to our car. It was really difficult with the ice instead of snow. Very difficult! Luckily it was sunny enough for it to thaw at least on the drive and we could drive up and down it. It looks like we are going to be getting another batch of snow however either this weekend or by Monday. Dont get me wrong I love snow and the colder weather. But I really dread the amounts we have been getting and all of the ice. The ice is the horrible part. How is everyone else's weather?

Just thought I would randomly blog about the weather lol. not sure why lol.

have a great weekend all!
