D&R: Snow day!

When I was little, we lived in TN for about 7 years. In 1993 there was a blizzard and I bet we got like a foot of snow. We were out of school for a week and Dad stayed home for couple days too. We had a pool then too and were able to go ice skating in our tennis shoes on it b/c it was frozen solid. That is the most snow I've ever seen in my life. This week, I saw the 2nd most snow in my life. 8 inches of snow.

Saturday was a beautiful day. It was nearly 70 degrees. Then Monday evening it began to get cold and I questioned whether we'd really get the foot of snow they were calling for. I needed to go grocery shopping, but there was no way I was fighting all the crazy people freaking out about needing bread and milk. So Rem ended up going for me. I rushed to the gym since I knew I wouldn't be able to go for a few days if the blizzard really did come. I rushed b/c I wanted to get home before The Bachelor came on. I never really watch the Bachelor but I've become addicted this time. By the time the 10 o'clock news came on, a couple of the smaller schools had already canceled classes.

I woke up when my alarm went off and all the local schools were out. YES! That meant I got to roll over and go back to sleep. When Rem took Izzy out, he said there was a thick layer of ice everywhere. Around 9 in the morning the snow started falling. Then it got heavier.

My bathroom is very cold and windy!

Izzy looks cold!

I took this this afternoon before we went to Walmart.

This afternoon, Rem and I decided to take a little trip to Walmart. The roads were covered in snow and ice of course. Rem drove - I'm way too chicken. Here's a few pictures from our drive.

Here's a car that slide off the road. You can see a good part of my wind shield is still covered in ice.

This is 14th Street or Hwy 102, which is the main road that runs through Bentonville and Centerton. Usually this road is packed with traffic. There were a few cars on the road. Oh and there was so much snow on the hood of my car, I couldn't put my windshield wipers down. While Rem was in Walmart, I worked on cleaning off my car somemore.
