Over the weekend, the weather forecast for this week was a shocker. Local meterologists predicted freezing rain, sleet, ice then accumulating snow....up to a foot??!!!
I was so glad that we had already been to the grocery store on Sunday, because these pictures from our local Wal-Mart Supercenter were on the news...
no bread...
no more gallons of milk...
and fresh produce was almost gone!
Well, Tuesday it hit. Monday night we got freezing rain and ice, then a few inches of snow was already on the ground when we woke up. It snowed all day!!! Blizzard warnings were on the TV. I did not know Arkansas could even get a blizzard! It continued to snow until after we went to bed last night. At times, it was blowing snow like a blizzard outside. I was so glad that Jim could work from home. We have heard nothing but horrible things about the roads. No plows, no sand...what is going on?!! Oh well, with below freezing temperatures for tomorrow, we will just be staying in. But we did get out to do a bit of sledding today. Jim shoveled the driveway yesterday and today. But there is still an inch of ice on it.
Jim stuck a ruler in the snow....
7 inches yesterday afternoon (and it continued to fall hours after this)
I bet we got close to 10 inches!
Just the tops of our bushes stick out of the snow in front of our house!
Jim shoveling the snow, but an inch of ice still remains on the driveway!
The boys snuggled in our bed together watching cartoons!
Later this afternoon, it warmed up from 7 degrees to 28 degrees, so we went outside for a bit to play and go sledding.
The snow is so dry that we could not build a snowman so Christian pushed one of his little trucks around pretending it was a plow. I wish we would actually see a real plow sometime soon.
This is our road. Just the mailman and newspaper delivery drivers have been by in their big trucks.
Christian and I about to head down one of the hills on the golf course!
The view of the golf course from the top of the hill.
Christian walking back to the house...you can't see where the road ends and the ditches begin!
But we had fun!
So much fun we put a crack in the bottom of our sled!
Looks like we will be getting a new one, if we can ever leave the house! A few snow showers are predicted for Friday, then another winter storm comes Sunday night into Monday morning that is going to bring a wintry mix.
Wondering if we will ever go back to school??!!! School has been closed Tuesday, Wednesday and tomorrow. It will have to be closed Friday too. I just hope we can leave the house by the weekend or we will be stir crazy!!!
