Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that the power kicked off for about half an hour which made me realized how un prepared for winter power outages we are. So I am cleaning so I won't kill my self trying to get around my house in the pitch black and am planning on picking up a lantern and lantern oil when I have to go pick up my husband from work. This is probably only the second Idaho snow storm that has knocked out power for us in the 6 years that we have been here! :D

The last report I saw said it would be back to snowing by Wednesday...Dear God, everyone drive safe. If this muck freezes it will be nasty We need a good snow floor. Yucky sleet and rain out here. Gonna curl up with some writing materials and nurse my head cold. I HOPE that we can keep the snow coming though, I'm looking forward to more of it

Annika-
Isn't that the truth! As I was driving to work today a 50ft section of the road was flooded. I was thinking "please dry before the next freeze!" As it is on a corner with field ditches on either side. Luckily they aren't deep enough to cause a horrible wreck, but probably deep and steep enough to need a tow out of them and maybe even break an axle.
Everyone drive safe. Getting there slower is better than not getting there at all!

Up here in the Forgotten Corner we got 10 inches of snow then it started to rain and rain and rain. Jim plowed out the driveway and in the pouring rain. It's still raining! What wacky weather
