Snow!

This winter we have had a lot more snow days than the past few winters combined.  When it snows here, pretty much everything shuts down. And today was no exception.  I worked from home today and did not attempt to go anywhere. Neither did any of my roommates, except one. Not only did it snow, but it is really cold too, so there's ice and I did not want to be out on the roads.

 This is what my car looked like when I went to clear it off after work.

It may not look so bad but there was a layer of ice that was hard to scrape off the windows, even with the defrost running full blast, because it was so cold.

The wind must have been blowing last night or this morning because the back of my car got a lot worse than the front.

I've lived lots of cold places in my life and I know this cold and snow does not compare to most of those places but this is the first place I've lived with snow and had a car.  To me, it's a little different story when I have a car to deal with on the icy roads and not just my own two feet or someone else who is willing to drive in the snow.

My roommates Melinda, Kara and I built Olaf during our last snow day on February 13. Isn't Olaf cute?! :)
