By this time our phones were ringing. "A blizzard is going to hit all of Wisconsin and we had better get home!"
Nooooooooooooooo. We didn't want toooooooo. (that's my whining voice)
We got up Friday morning and headed straight to the mall. All day we were trying to make up our minds whether we should stay or leave. If we stayed we would probably have to stay until Monday because the blizzard wasn't stopping until Sunday afternoon and it would take some time for the roads to get cleared.
We decided to stay the day on Friday and leave early Saturday morning and hopefully beat the worst of the storm.
We were all up by 5 a.m. and finally hit the road a little after 6. What normally takes 2 1/2 hours took us 4. It was a long nail-biting four hours.
Once I was home there was no way I was going to leave my warm cozy house. We spent the rest of Saturday totally snowbound inside.
Brian opened the garage door to get some pictures from this angle.
At the end of the day.............a beautiful sunset.
This morning the sun is shining and it looks beautiful out. But it is very deceiving.......it is -5 degrees!
Its beautiful IF you get to stay home! Thank goodness for the kindness of neighbors. We've had a bit of the white stuff ourselves. Not nearly as much as you. Glad ya'll made it home safe.
ReplyDeleteSorry the blizzard messed up your shopping trip! It was quite the weekend! Loved being snowed in all day yesterday! Gotta love Wisconsin! Stay warm and be safe!
ReplyDeleteSorry your shopping weekend got cut short--but better to be home safe and sound! Seeing all that snow reminds me of what it was like growing up in North Dakota. I remember it well. Brrrrr!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're staying inside where it's nice and cozy!
PS--when I tell people here in Vegas we used to have to use a snow blower, scrape the car windows with an ice scrapers, and also plug our cars in, they have no idea what I'm talking about!!
ReplyDeleteWow you sure did get a lot of snow. haha I love the snow blower! We got a few inches, but that's a lot for us down in KY!
ReplyDeleteYeah for Bob and his tractor!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got all your fun shopping in as well as back home safely!
ReplyDeleteI can see we have nothing to complain about. We got dumped on too but only got about half your snow. Saturday night Keith cancelled church and then felt like an idiot the next morning to wake up to blue skies. Since everyone was still digging out nobody complained. Glad you're safe and sound and captured some great pictures. Our neighbor in Iowa used to drive his big snowblower over to unplug our driveways. Those snow shower pictures brings back fond memories. My kids loved it when the snow would be shot up on the side of the house.
ReplyDeleteNow thats a real winter! The wind must be blowing like crazy to make those high of drifts! Glad you are home safe! Have a great week ;D
ReplyDeleteNow that is a blizzard. I'm going to have to show Tyler these pictures. WE got 4 inches of snow (which is a lot for us) and Tyler was asking if it was a blizzard. Glad you all got home safe and still got to have a little fun. I can't even imagine that looong car ride home.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some snow!! And I thought it was cold here.
ReplyDeleteIt's soooo pretty! Glad you got home safe! We were supposed to get all kinds of snow and ice but didn't get too much. The weather people were all "stay inside during the snow and ice EVENT." Not sure what made it an event haha!
ReplyDeleteOH MY!! How beautiful!!!! I'm jealous!!! It is 20 here right now though..in sunny florida, LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That's a lot of snow! And here we complain about an inch. No matter the amount, I dislike it either way! Stay warm!
