Snow

We've taken quite a beating from Mother Nature lately and it makes getting around very, very challenging.

Because we are no longer on the bus route the road to our farm does not get plowed out as often as it needs to be.

Lots of snow, lack of snow removal and a giant hill going to our house makes it very difficult.

Last night we were hit with a huge pile of snow and the weather is not exactly freezing cold, so it is making the roads very, very slick.

My brother got half way to the highway today and decided to turn around and come home. He couldn't make it up our hill.

My dad and I had to go help him and we took his car to town. We then tried to get home in a van and were spinning our tires all the way up the hill. It was a challenge to keep the tires in the tracks and not spin out too much that we would have to go the bottom of the hill and try again.

For any of you have seen the hill to my house, you know what a pain in the ass that hill can be. Winter sucks.

I know people in the city complain if the roads are shit, but it takes one kind of driver to drive winter weather in the city and another kind of driver to drive winter weather in rural areas.

I did not venture out anywhere today in my car. I have plans for tomorrow night and Friday and I hope very much that I will be able to go, but I will make that call when the time comes.

I know that I will be able to get out and into town, I am just worried that I will not be able to get back.

Please, snow removal come my way. I am very much used to living in the city and being able to go places, so when I am stuck at the farm, with too much snow to drive anywhere I get ....well...

anxious.
