Snow Storm

Well the snow started last night around 11:00, and when we woke up this morning at about 7:00 it was still coming down pretty heavy. It snowed pretty steady until about noon, then stopped for a while, and Ann just called me and said it's starting to snow some more on campus. We took Raider for a walk this morning, he just loves the cold for some reason. It was REALLY cold this morning. It was about 13 degrees with a wind chill of about -5 or so. We could see traffic on Indiana Avenue from our front yard so we figured the ice on the roads would be melted down from all the cars, so we went out for a drive to get some pictures, and the roads were still really icy. We got to the light at 50th street and traffic was stopped, and when we tried to go again, my car just slid down into the curb and we were stuck there for about 30 minutes until the police drove by and helped us. There was an SUV in front of us that was stuck and a couple cars behind us. After they pushed us out, it took about an hour to get back home. We were only about 2 miles from the house, but since the roads were so icy, we had to stay in the center of the road and make left turns only to avoid sliding down the slope towards the gutter again. We literally had to drive halfway around the southwest side of town just to stay on roads that were in decent enough shape for us to drive on and make left-hand turns. Here are some pictures, I'm sure Ann will make some CD's and bring them home for at the end of December to show everyone.
