IT'S A BIG 'UN...

The bike is almost covered and the cars I've posted before are just big piles in the snow. We had over a foot of snow yesterday! Even the Alaskans are saying this is A LOT of snow!!! The totals for December were almost triple!
Yesterday was the worst day I've had here-the snow was so deep and falling so heavily. I had to go to the dentist at 1:30 and I was actually happy to get to the dentist and crawl into the torture chair (to be fair he was the nicest guy and didn't hurt me at all!)
It was so bad going there-the windshield wipers kept freezing up and then I couldn't see out! And everything was white: the falling snow, the roads, the piles of snow next to the road. Everything just sort of blended together. Then I got stuck trying to turn into the dentist's parking lot. I would have to get out and scrape my rear windshield so I could see well enough to back up....I'd back until I was stuck again and then I'd go forward, then I'd get out and scrape again, then back again, then forward, the out and scrape...until I managed to get out. (It's not actually scraping-it's brushing the snow off because it was falling so fast it would obscure the view out the window that quickly!) I didn't try to get into the parking lot again!!! I parked next door and waded through snow above my ankles to the dentist office. I had wet shoes, wet socks and wet pants....talk about COLD!
After the dentist I decided there was no way I could drive back across town (the dentist turned out to be just a few blocks from the house)....so, I just went home. I was gonna shovel snow but it was so deep it was really not fun-so, Joanne went out to do it. But, luck struck...the workers across the way offered to plow it with their pickup and snow blade if they could park here during the day....DEAL!! They did everything, except where the two cars are parked...not just the drive in and out!
The moon was full last night so I took a walk-it was just beautiful. I took some pictures but it is kind of hard to tell the moon from the snow flakes falling!!! See if you can find the moon!
Anyway, after the walk I discovered the most wonderful food treat!!! It's Brown Cow cream on top chocolate yogurt----it is as good as a fancy resturant desert (and has as many calories!). Oh, but is it to die for!!!!
Today dawned with no snow and intermittent sunshine! It also brought a new car for me!!! We finally convinced the company that we needed 4 wheel drive-YEAH! I am now driving an all wheel drive Equinox-red. Even though I did slide sideways across Tudor (like a really main street) shortly after I picked it up, I think it will be better!
Well, it's off to bed with me-5 am comes really, really quick and I haven't packed my bag!
