Another reason


SNOW!

Again. My favorite thing in the whole wide world.

I made plans to go to my sister's house in Aurora today. She's on bedrest and needed some help with Enoch. Excited. Ready. Can't wait .. love my sister - always fun to hang out with even when she's on bedrest.

Got the kids out the door and off I went.


Okay we SO LIVE IN COLORADO. It snowed last night/this morning. Not much .. a couple of inches at best. By the time I got to the interstate (yes, that was painful in and of itself .. following a little 4x4 doing 25mph) most of the snow had cleared especially from the roads. Again, we live in COLORADO. Apparently we had a million visitors this month from Arizona. It took me 25 minutes to get from our exit in Castle Rock to Happy Canyon exit (what .. a couple of miles apart?).

TRAFFIC. I mean, a ton. All those Arizona natives piled on the interstate .. I guess we were ALL going to Aurora. So so so so so so so so slow. Given it hasn't snowed a ton this winter so I guess that means everyone forgot what it looked like and how to drive in it.

I kept looking for the accident. None. Just the snow (not on the roads mind you - on the ground beside the road). It took me about an hour and a half to get to her house. Normally a 35 minute drive.
Crazy. Did I REALLY need another reason to hate snow??

That is a great picture. Creative! You are a great sister to go help her out. And I am glad I am not the only one tired of snow and the people that live by it. Here everbody is running off the roads and like you said the snow is ON the SIDE of the road. Cracks me up!:)
