Icy Weather

It has not been a nice day outside today. We had terrible strong winds that just beat the rain against the windows. It sounded like hail but think it was sleet as many windows were frozen over. I tried to take a nap and it got so loud several times, it woke me up. I tried to get the mail and the mail boxes were all frozen shut so my husband had to go out and beat on them to get the ice out so we could get our mail. It is good to be in the nice warm house tonight.

Icy Roads

Last night we started out of town for supper at our favorite restaurant. We got three miles out of town and the snow was blowing across the highway. Not only that it was sticking to the highway. It was getting very slippery and you couldn't tell where the center line was. We decided quickly that the wisest thing to do was to head back home. So that is what we did. We went to the local Mexican restaurant and had enchiladas. They were good and we were satisfied and we saved ourselves a hazardous drive.
