Snow Day 2011
















On Wednesday, I could not get to work. Neither could about 95% of all employees, so they closed down work for the day because it was unsafe for people to be on the roads. We got about 8" of snowfall overnight Tuesday, but the wind blow the snow into huge drifts. Some people's backyards had over 2 feet of snow drifts!

This is a picture of the front of our apartment, and you can see the snow piled on top of the air conditioner and the light.

One person from my area is actually missing because of the snowstorm. His truck broke down and he tried walking to a house for help and no one has seen him since. I am praying that he is found as it was bitterly cold Wednesday.

It has become warmer these past few days - by warmer I mean around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Yesterday it was sunny - it was so nice to finally see the sun! Although I love winter for the variety and beauty that it brings, I am becoming a little lonesome for the spring and summer days.

Reading is a good way to spend your days during winter. Baking perhaps?

I watched some episodes of Gilmore Girls on DVD, and made spaghetti for dinner!

I also love baking and reading!
