SNOW DAY!!!

I did not make it to work today. i tried, but i failed. you see, there is this huge snow storm coming from the east (which is odd) and bringing with it 12 hours of snow!!!!!!!! yeah. so the wind started at 4:30 this morning. i woke up and never fell back asleep. so i got up and got ready for work. by this time, there was snow on the ground, but not a whole lot, and most of it was blowing off the roads. so i venture out to work and the main road was alright. tire tracks are always nice. so i get on the highway and hello crappy! i made it to the next exit ( a couple miles) and convinced myself to get off and go home. it was just getting worse and i wanted to live today. so i turn around and come home. which was even worse than when i was heading to work! and so now i am home, not getting paid, and catching up on things! i feel bad that i didn't go in. i feel like a chicken too since i did grow up in ohio and i know how to drive in this stuff. but i am home now and i am staying. my husband went to work, but he doesn't have to go on the highway! which you would think would be better, but it's not. and unlike ohio, we don't have levels here, so they are just advising people to stay home instead of issuing a level 3. they've closed I-70 from outside denver to kansas. denver is in a blizzard. the snow hurts on the face, but it's also pushed by strong winds. if it wasn't so windy it would be a perfect day to ski! fresh snow! it's so peaceful falling when the wind isn't blowing. but i'm not going skiing since i didn't go to work. although i'm sure there are a lot of people that ditched work to go ski! must be nice. i finally gave in and is letting my husband get me the Suburu that he wanted to get me next year. yeah, i need that all wheel drive without being in an suv. experienced that this morning! i wish my husband didn't go in. they we could cuddle all day and drink hot chocolate and watch movies and stuff! but no, he went anyway. did i mention that by 10:30 there was already 4 inches on the drive? we are expected 9 inches by 3 and a foot by 10. at least a foot, if not more. and we are supposed to get 1-2 feet total! fun times! i miss snow!
