Snow, snow and more snow!

What a day of weather we have had! We got about 11 inches of snow between 4 am and noon. Driving to work this morning was no fun. There was already a lot of snow on the road and minimal plowing had been done. Once I was at work we just looked outside and the snow coming down and marveled at how little we could see due to the heavy downfall combined with the wind.
We were expecting an admission today. She was coming from the hospital but her husband was driving her. About the time she was expected, we got a call from On Star. The operator said the man was stuck at the end of our road. They ended up calling the police. The police said our road was impassable so they couldn't transfer her in their car. A tow truck had to be called along with the road commission to come and plow. Our parking lot had been plowed earlier but was filled in again so our maintenance man went out and made a path out to the road with the snow blower so this patient could be wheeled in. It took a little over an hour before they finally made it into the building! This lady has a good sense of humor because she got a laugh out of that ordeal!
At this point the staff was thinking we would have to stay because we thought the afternoon staff wouldn't be able to make it in. They all made it though, and we were ready to start home.
One of the employees sons came in his four wheel drive and shoveled around our vehicles because by this time there was snow drifts up to the hoods of our cars. If he hadn't done that, we would still be stuck! I took my time and made it home safe and sound - and happy! I have the weekend off and will go back to work on Monday. Guess what - there is another storm predicted for Sunday!
