Winter is back!

So winter is back...we are under a Blizzard/Winter Storm warning. Yesterday, they said when we woke up we'd have some snow and it would get worse as the day went on. I was very excited..hoping for a snow day! Well, I woke up and there was a light dusting on the grass and streets were just a little wet. Darn it! So off to work I go! The interesting part was that they had already cancelled school for the majority of the school districts. Well, around 10ish, I looked out my office window and noticed a few flakes falling. As the morning went on, the snow started coming down more and more and the wind picked up. Around 11, I could no longer see field that is across the street from my office. At noon, we got the e-mail we had all been hoping for..OFFICE IS NOW CLOSED!! YEAH!

I was pretty lucky on the drive home..not too much traffic and the visibilty wasn't too bad. Meaning..I could see the 3 cars in front of me but not the 4th. Several co-workers had a 3-4 hour drive home due to traffic, accidents, etc. It took me about 20 minutes..double what it normally takes me. The above pic was taken when I got home from work. It was really strange not seeing the mountains..they kind of disappeared! We ended up with about 10 inces of snow which isn't alot for us but the main issue was the blowing snow/blizzard like conditions. As of now, we have a 2 hr. delay for work tomorrow. I guess I kind of got my snow day. =)
