Blizzard winds

Even though we had our drive professionally graded, today the high winds totally closed it up again.  Mom called me to come home early, which I did...  But still my Taurus wouldn't travel all the way...  Just a little over half.  Then stuck.  Then my son slid sideways pulling me.  Son Stuck.  Neighbor who always says to call if we need anything (but he maybe regrets that)....  Pulled out my son...  Who pulled me backwards all the way to the highway...  Finally the tractor tamped a road? In the icy goo with slimy mud underneath....  And my son drove me in...  And in I'm staying...  All tracks and signs of a road are gone.  I later learned a bus got stuck taking students home...

My front window was a mess...
I loved what I saw out the back...  Two levels of help.....

Closer....
My little haven

So, for about an hour I was car bound, drifts up too high to open my door, waiting on my deliverers...  I though about that happy cow commercial with the poor cow from Wisconsin who sets out in the blowing snow to walk to California...  It felt strangely familiar...

I hear you, Gayla. We used to get snow like that in the mountains. We live on the edge of town now so are plowed out pretty quickly. I am glad you got UNSTUCK! xo Diana
