The ice storm came last Thursday night, and I had the boys all day on Friday. Driving over to Lori's house to pick the up was not too bad Friday morning, as the 4 inches of sleet that we got was till not compacted, so 4wd worked great with my truck. Once we got back over to my house, we spent most of the day in the 14 degree wind chill, sledding and sliding around the neighborhood. It was a ton of fun.
Christopher's cheeks were happy to finally be inside.
We warmed up, and spent the rest of the day watching movies and playing around the house. Driving them back to Lori's house on Saturday morning was quite the ordeal. The streets were basically skating rinks, and the 8 mile journey to her house took about 45 minutes. It was ugly.
We still have plenty of remnants of the storm all around the neighborhood. My yard is still solid white even 7 days later. The streets have now warmed up enough to melt all of the ice. Whew!
It looks like the next couple of weeks will be OK weather wise, but I saw a few minutes ago, that another big cold front is supposed to blow in around Christmas Eve. I hope no precipitation comes with it, for I will be in Temple. I would not want to drive home from there on the kind of roads we've had for the last few days. Nope, no thank you.
I get the kids this coming weekend, and I am looking forward to spending some time with them. Aidan has his first league basketball game on Saturday morning, and I can't wait. It will be fun. Don't worry, I will have plenty of pictures!
