[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 17718"] We've gotten about 6 inches or more so far and it's supposed to snow all night. School was closed today and there was only a skeleton crew at work - til I left, then they started trickling out. Guess someone had to be first, and I wasn't afraid to be the leader! [img]:wink:[/img] We are at a Level 2 Snow Emergency which means essential travel only, and it's only going to get worse. At Level 3 they can arrest you for being on the roads. I started calling home at 11:30. Both kids at home and noone answered the phone. Cleaned about 4 inches of snow off my car, creeped towards home at 25 mph (my car really does horribly in the snow) and continued to try calling home. No answer. easy child was supposed to keep up on the driveway, but he was sleeping. Shocking, huh? My driveway is on a bit of a slope and if isn't shoveled, the car just isn't going to make it up. Stop at the grocery store. Way too many people there. Didn't anyone tell them there was a snowstorm??? Call a girlfriend of mine and ask her to continue to call my kids for me while I'm in the store. They answered the phone for her. I wanted to throttle someone. Didn't really care who at that point. Lug the heavily laden cart through the unplowed parking lot (except for the one swipe they did by the door which created a good 10 inch pile to have to drag the cart through) to the car and load it up. Lug the cart to the cart corral. Try to call the kids to make sure the garage door is up so I can just pull right on in and not get stuck in the driveway (oh, yeah - garage door opener broke a few weeks ago). No answer again. Pretty sure steam came out of my ears. Get home 2 hours after I left work and am a little annoyed, to say the least. Open the garage door, get the car in the garage with much slipping and sliding and ask the kids to help me bring in the groceries. The burcitis in my hip has been really acting up and I was in a lot of pain after lugging that stupid grocery cart. The kids complain that they are too tired to help bring in groceries.
