Just Another Snowstorm?

The above pictures don't really tell the complete story of our Friday morning last week..... You know the snowstorm is a bad one when you live in Rochester (where they are equipped to handle the snow) and the city snow plow (a MASSIVE piece of equipment- the truck has 10 wheels) gets stuck trying to plow the snow right in front of your house! Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture of the driver standing outside of his truck with a shovel. He had to call for another plow to come plow him out!

Meanwhile, Coley was supposed to be on call at the hospital and couldn't get out of the driveway with the car. I had an appointment that afternoon, so I couldn't just let him drive the Tahoe (with 4 wheel drive), so off went the three of us to take Coley to work. Since the plow (with a blade on the front and another on the side) was completely blocking our nearest exit, we had to venture around the circle (in unplowed territory) hoping to make it all the way around before we got stuck! Just as we neared the last turn before reaching the main road, we had to stop for a van that was stuck (and, of course, blocking the road). By the time we could get around the van, the second city snow plow had rescued the plow stuck in front of our house. With the cleared road, Coley ended up just driving the car. We had a good time 4 wheeling in the Tahoe though!

It was one of few days since we've lived here that they actually canceled school. We are hoping that since it IS March already that we might get a break from the white stuff for several months..... Where is Spring? Abby really wants to ride her tricycle and gets a little distraught when I won't let her ride down the icy driveway! Riding the tricycle in the garage and along the walkway to the front door just isn't good enough!
