Blizzard!


Haidyn got to experience her first blizzard. It was a little spooking riding home from Jen's on Tuesday, February 1st. I left work early knowing that the storm was on it's way and I wanted to get Haidyn and be home before it yet. I apparently timed it wrong. The wind was blowing like crazy, making visibility very poor. Haidyn kept telling me, "I can't see out the window Mom." I assured her we didn't have far to go and that we would be fine. We were very close to home when we had to drive past a field. The wind picked up and blew the snow making it a complete whiteout. Haidyn yelled, "I can't see ANYTHING Mom!" I white knuckled the steering wheel, said a little prayer that we stayed on the road and as soon as the wind died a bit allowing me to see where the road was, I gunned it. Once we made it past the field it was ok. It continued to snow for quite a long time after that. The next day we ended up with 20" of snow. But the snow drifts were the worst. The driveway was over 5'. We did get outside for a little bit to go sledding and check out the tunnel that Daddy made for her.
