Last night, we received about an inch or so of ice/snow mix. We are predicted to get 4 more inches of snow tonight - yeah rah! Several schools and businesses were closed today, but unfortunately for us we still had to venture to work and daycare. The city and county roads were pretty decent as far as creating the slush effect that you could mush your car through easily. The state roads, like the highways, were another story where the snow was so packed down that the car couldn't get traction. Whew, made it to daycare and work....
Received a call at lunch that daycare would be closing early, so I left work at 3:30. Spent 15 minutes clearing off my ice encased car from the rain mixture that started falling about lunch time. During that process, my windshield wiper also broke off and I had no idea how to put it back on (I am a girl!). Thank goodness, another co-worker came to my rescue.
To get to the toddler prediction...this morning as we were leaving the house and I was commenting on the slick roads, Connor asked if it would be melted by the end of the day. I responded that it would not and we would probably get more before the day was out. His immediate response was that when I got home tonight I would probably get stuck like I always do (last time we had this kind of snow/ice was about 9 months ago) and Daddy would have to get my car in. Okay - he warned me and yes I got stuck! Our driveway is a little steep and the slippery effect makes it impossible to get up it without shoveling the driveway first or getting a running start from the neighbors driveway.
