Outside the snow is fallin’ …
A lovely winter blizzard blew into town this morning. I decided not to drive into work, and I’m glad I didn’t. The school closed down early, and when I tried to drive the .5 mile to get Caleb and Trent, my car got stuck about 50yds from home. I managed to make it back to the garage and took the van instead.
My neighbor was out shoveling his driveway when a large school bus tried to turn the corner and just kept on going. The rear end of the school bus ended up in his driveway, with just enough of a downhill slope that it was not going to go anywhere fast. He got to play host to about 10 kids for a while, most of whom were rescued from other stranded buses — I hope they’ve all managed to get home by now.
We are hoping to be skiing at Copper Mountain on Friday… odds are good that we won’t be making it. A state of emergency has been declared for the whole state, the airport is shutdown, school and work are closed. We’ll just have to spend some ‘quality’ time together at home.
