Let it snow, let it snow....ok it can stop now!

Today's log is inspired by the snow. Now, here in Plymouth, we've barly gotten ANY at ALL! However, just a mere 33 miles from us, where we used to live, they've gotten over 30" of snow in the last 24 hours! It's right up there with the blizzard of '78 they had here as well. But in that blizzard, there were snow drifts of over 10 FT!! That's what made that one so memorable.

So, we went to South Bend today to drop off our youngest daughter (our oldest was dropped off last night at my moms) at Chad's mom's house for a sleepover and a much needed break for mommy!! As we were driving up there, in Lakeville, and Lapaz,  it got to the point where we couldn't even see 5 ft in front of us! And Chad's windshield wipers were HORRIBLE so we stopped and got new ones in South Bend (which we REALLY don't have the money for but hey, safty first right?) and they guy who checked him out, OFFERED to put them on for him! Now, Chad's not your "normal" guy. He doesn't know jack about cars lol, so if he had to put them on, we would have been there like 1/2 hr lol. But the guy had them on in less than 3 mins! Awesome customer service!!

We made it there, and had to park in the middle of the street because they weren't plowed yet (of course!) so we ran her in and went on our merry way! We went to Hacienda (because I LOVE HACIENDA!! Jealous Ash?!?!) and when we tried to get in, we got stuck on the hill. Whoops! So we were going to leave, but we saw a plowed way in another parking lot and it ended up connecting in the back! YES! Score for me! Other than that, we didn't get stuck once! We did however, see an amboulance stuck and 2 firetrucks helping them out. That's just horrible! And mulitple other cars being stupid (which I'm sure you'll hear a LOT about stupid drivers in South Bend from me!) and getting stuck as well. We saw a TON of people walking, and even a man on a bike! OH! And like 10 cars stuck trying to get on the bypass! (if you saw ONE car stuck, WHY, WHY, WHY woud YOU try to get on too?! Idiots!) needless to say, we're home and I just woke up from a few hour nap! Chad's still snoozin of course! There's a state of emergancy in South Bend now, and anyone going out, will be ticketed! I hope they lift it by the time we have to go get the girls, otherwise, they will have to stay another night and I'll get another nights break! YAY! LOL! (I haven't had a break in a LONG time!)

And with that all being said, I'm going to leave you some pics of the Winter Bilzzard of '11! (I only took the first picture! I did NOT take the rest!)
