WINTER WONDERLAND

Boy oh boy has the weather changed in Idaho. Last week we got snow and the last 2 days we have been dumped on. It has probably snowed a good 10-12 inches and the wind has blown a lot. In fact, most of the schools around here are closed today because of the weather. There are a lot of drifts, roads closed and lots of ice. I even made John drive me to work today because I didn't want to be on the roads driving. The weather report says we are to get lots more snow today and tomorrow. There is a weather storm warning until Tues. night with the possibility of another 10 to 15 inches of snow. And the wind is supposed to blow at least 30-50 miles an hour. I wish I was home curled up with a good Christmas book. I really think our white Thanksgiving and Christmas are here this year.

OUCH!!!

The snow has arrived in Idaho. On Monday, it was beautiful. On Wednesday, I had already had enough. I headed to work Wednesday Morning and decided I was going to stop at McDonalds and get a diet coke for the day. Bad idea. I got the coke and was stopped waiting to pull on to 2nd East when a white Blazer was coming a bit fast and decided to turn into McD's. And, crash, he slid right into my driver side door and crunched it good. The roads were slick because of new snow that morning. When the cops came, I started crying, not because I was hurt , but I was just a little shook up. I have never been in a wreck and it scared me a little. All is well though. We can still drive the car, the guy had insurance, and it will all be fixed shortly. So, be safe and slow down everyone.
