Snowed in (almost)

Yesterday one of the largest blizzards in years, dumped a foot of snow on us. It was horrible driving to school yesterday and listening to the school closings. Basically all of the schools in Northeastern Wisconsin were closed, except for UW-Green Bay. (I have always wanted to have a snow day and was cheated out of it!) I left school early, skipping my late class, I headed home. The highway had one snow free lane, but everyone was driving slow. I was shocked to find my exit ramp to the next main highway closed. I wondered "How in the heck am I going to get home? I don't know where I am going!" I took the next exit and prayed I remember the way home. (I had only been on these roads once before with Dad, even than I wasn't sure.) I wasn't the only one trying to get back to De Pere, five cars followed me off the highway. The country roads hadn't been plowed yet and I was a afraid my low riding car would get stuck. Thank goodness it didn't and thank goodness the ever increasing procession of cars following me didn't mind the sporadic speeds. It was still snowing when I made it home 45 minutes after I left school. I almost got stuck at the bottom of our driveway. Elizabeth and Daniel were fooling with cross country skis on the driveway! I didn't want to hit them, so when I slowed I got stuck in a drift. After spinning my wheels back and forth, my car lurched forward. I slammed on the horn so the kids would know I was coming and that my stupid dog would get out of the way. He was running right in front of me! I pulled into the garage fast, but without mishap. I sat there for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief. I love snow, just don't make me drive in a blizzard!
