Snow Galore

This morning we went outside into the snow to go to preschool for Gracie (we do a joy school type thing with some friends from our other ward). The roads were terrible. Snow was blowing and falling quickly. At one point we were driving up College Avenue. I noticed an old green truck driving next to us with the window down. It totally took me back to my high school days. I had a Gold Mitsubishi 1/4 ton pick-up. It really worked great for me most of the time, but on snowy mornings I would have to roll my window down just like the green truck I saw. The defroster didn't work quickly enough and my windows would fog like crazy.
I especially remember the mornings as a Senior in high school that my brother Tom would drive us to early morning seminary. We were often running late and we would scrape off the driver's side but not the whole passenger side. Dangerous? I know, and it was always really scary as the passenger not being able to see where we were going :)
Anyway, since I had already loaded the kids in the car,I picked up Justin and drove him across campus to his class and then called to cancel for preschool. The roads were so bad that I started to wonder if we'd be stranded if we went over to my friend's house if the snow continued to fall. So much for pre-school, grocery shopping, and other errands. We are happy to be safe and warm at home. It is always fun to have a good excuse to snuggle on the couch, drink cocoa, and read books.
