We had some crazy weather last week with lots of snow! There was a big storm predicted for Wednesday. It was fine going in, but soon the snow started. By 12:30 they told those of us in the office who didn't live close by to leave.
My drive home was brutal. I didn't want to take the back roads so got on the highway. That was probably a mistake. The wind was really blowing and the visibility was terrible. There were 2 tracks on one side of the road, and when a semi came by, things got even worse. It took me an hour to get home, and my commute is usually 30 minutes.
I was set up on my computer and in touch with the other girls from the office. I worked all day and was so thankful to be working somewhere that allows this option.
Friday morning I bundled up and left early for work. It was again, not a nice drive and took me almost an hour, but at least the snow had stopped. Soon the sun came out.
My drive home was much better! The sky was blue, and the main roads were fairly clear.
I've had enough snow for a while now!
Wow, that's a lot of snow. So glad you had safe commutes and got to work from home. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I am just so glad you are alright. I would have been scared out of my wits.
ReplyDeleteI can barely drive in the rain! It looks so pretty and cold. I am glad you could work from home. Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt seems there is a lot of snow this year in many places, even here where it hardly ever snows or gets too cold. I'm glad you made it home safely and had the work at home option until it was safe to go out again.
ReplyDeleteI am sure glad we don't get those brutal winter storms!! It's chilly here and gloomy, but no scooping/plowing. That one photo of the pine heavy-ladden with white is pretty tho.
ReplyDeleteI had wondered if you were getting socked with that storm. Our son and dil live over by Ann Arbor.
ReplyDeleteYikes...keep it there...grin. We have some snow from that storm, but nothing like what you got. But we know it's coming, sigh.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you when the weather was reporting how much snow you guys were getting over there on the West side of the state. We didn't get any of that here on the East side. I remember a brutal drive home from work a few years ago that was similar to what you described! Very stressful and I bet you were glad to get home! How awesome that you can work from home in times like this! It sure does look pretty though!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a lot of snow.
ReplyDeleteSure nice that you had the option to work from home.
The weather seems to be crazy all over!!
Seems like a lot of winter weather came your way! We had about 6" fall here over the weekend and boy is it cold. Be safe out there!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know it isn't fun driving in those weather conditions. I've done it myself and it's always scary especially when having to drive long distances. I'm glad you made it back safely and were able to work from home the next day.
ReplyDeleteSo much snow. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Nice that you can work from home when necessary! Mari, I don't care to ever see snow in person, ever again. Enough was enough! Stay safe!! xo
ReplyDeleteWowzers! I think you got even more than we have! Doesn't it sometimes make you question - why do we live around here? Lol
ReplyDeleteI was catching up on all of your recent posts. I'm so glad you still help at your old place sometimes - not only the blessing you are to them, but probably nice for you to stay in touch too.
You know I love the cinnamon sugar pecans gift idea - do it every year! 😉 Blessings on your week ahead. xo
Great photos of winter weather!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave, Mari! I used to be, but those days are long gone!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of snow!! Nothing like that here...we had about 4 inches on Thursday night.
ReplyDeleteI've just got back from AZ and the weather wasn't like that there! :D Beautiful but yes that's enough snow for one year thanks!
ReplyDeleteAAAARRGGGHHHH! Oh Mari I am so glad too that you have a job that allows you to stay home when that weather gets nasty. That said, I'd love to sit indoors by a window and watch that snow fall!!!! I do envy you that. I hope the worst of the snow is over for this winter. Here, we may see a snowflake tonight. It will die of loneliness, haahahaa xoxo
