First Snow

Posted by Lanel on November 27, 2007

It came last night.  I love the snow.  I love winter.  But, I just wasn’t ready for it last night.  I’m loving looking out my office window and seeing the beauty that is outside but my car wasn’t ready.  I wasn’t quite ready yet.  But, it’s here so it’s OK.

My snow tires aren’t on yet.  I was going to do them today but I think they’ll get done tomorrow instead.  I’m not going anywhere today.

Last night was youth group.  We have a large mailing list of kids but each week we have about 250-300 kids show up.  It’s crazy, yes.  But, it’s fun.  Last night we had about 500 kids there.  It was pure insanity.  I’m doing check-in right now and it was chaos.  I was tired by the time we checked everyone in only to look up and see the blanket of white outside.

Sigh

I left a little earlier than usual and slid home.  Literally.  It was like ice skating the entire way home.  My friend called when I got home to check to make sure I got here OK.  I was fine.  She said she saw cars in the ditches and on their side on her way home.

I haven’t been outside (yes, I’m a wimp and I admit it).  But from the second floor I’d say there are still a good 2 inches on the ground.  Not bad for the first snow of the season.

Me, I have the heat on in my office.  I’m actually a little cold.  LOL

Till later…
