It's been a pretty active weather-week over here. We received a solid 12" of snow on Thursday, which caused me to have a 2 hour commute to get back home and we ended up missing J's big company Christmas party on account of the bad roads. Then today we got hit with a ton of sleet, which changed over to pouring freezing rain, and now it's snowing again. Sheesh - never was the popular New England weather phrase "wait a half hour and the weather's bound to change" more apt than today.
But on a brighter note - I love my new car! Actually I love the 4WD in my new car! It was sure put to the test on Thursday when I climbed a massive hill in our neighborhood that was covered with at least 4" of snow. Two other cars were stuck trying to get up, but I had no problems at all. There was no way my old Honda would have been able to get up that hill - go RAV!!
In holiday news - Christmas cards were sent out earlier last week and my Christmas shopping is DONE! Nevermind that - I'm also done wrapping all those gifts! AND my cousin from Canada IS coming down for Christmas! So I'm excited! And Christmas is only about a week away!

Snow, then sleet, then freezing rain, then more snow

As bad as the weather is anywhere else, it's always a little worse in your neck of the woods... being on top of that mountain and all. 4WD is a good thing to have.
It took me an hour and a half to get home from work (normally a 25-minute drive) and it took the PH three and a half hours to go what should have taken an hour. When will I learn to just work from home on those days?!? At least it's one less car on the road.
Oh, and no comment about how prepared you are for the holidays. I'm hoping to finally get our Christmas cards in the mail tonight.
i hope you had a lovely holiday!!
i am glad that the weather has been nicer in the past few weeks. i hate that i have to have a bag packed in case the weather turns nasty and i'm stranded down here.
your cards were adorable - i'm sorry if yours didn't make it in time... i was a little distracted this year. i had the best intentions, but cards fell by the wayside, sadly. i plan to make up for it next year with delivering cookies, etc to those that i love but only see once a year.
so new year's resolution: to see more of the srg family. game night any time soon?
