THIS is what a blizzard looks like...

Just last week, I posted about us not getting a lot of snow this season. Well, we are making up for our loss. Today a blizzard hit us, and we are snowed in. It started snowing at 8am and we still have a 90% chance of snow until 1am tonight. We went to work thinking it was going to be a few inches, but when schools were closing and nobody was showing up for our gym classes, we decided to close our business the rest of the day. The 2.8 mile drive home was the longest and most frightening thing! Our car got stuck so many times and couldn't make it up the hill. All the cars around us were either stuck, too, or where spinning and driving sideways. I thought we were going to get slammed into! We are home safely now with over 1 foot of snow pushed up against our sliding-glass door from the wind (the weather man just said that our city has had 11 inces of snow fall so far, as of just 1:30pm). We will see how the roads are tomorrow with up to 12 more hours of snow action...

Watch the video below to see what a blizzard is! I'll post pictures later on when I'm done taking them throughout the storm. Don't you wish you were here with us?
