We woke up to a winter wonderland.
From the reports coming in, the roads are beyond dangerous.
We’ve got somewhere between five and seven inches of snow out there, and the high temperature in Knoxville today was 25.
I’m not Knoxville, but they don’t give an official temp for my area.
We planned to go on to the creek church, but that snow was too deep to walk through.
It wasn’t slick, just fluffy and hard to push through, like a mountain of feathers.
Getting up and down from the railroad tracks was scary.
Even walking was a little scary, because everything was so white you couldn’t tell where the ground even was.
We gave up on going past the library.
We weren’t sure how far we could make it in that snow.
We ended up walking in the road, where the snow wasn’t as deep, although it was still icy.
It was quiet out there in that way snow makes everything quiet.
It felt peaceful.
Well, it’s almost 9 pm, the kids are in bed, so I sneaked out to the computer.
I don’t know what all Badger did, but I watched a lot of TV and finished a book.
It was a long day, but to be honest, I had the space heater going, Lady was curled up with me, and I was wrapped up in a ton of blankets.
The wind machine was going to hide the noise, and I enjoyed the day.
Cowboy’s boss called and said if he can get out, he has to be at work at 7 am tomorrow.
Raven says he went to the store, and once you get out of our neighborhood, the roads aren’t too bad.
But it’s 12 degrees right now, and all of that is going to refreeze tonight.
I guess we’ll just have to see what tomorrow brings.
I guess I’ll head back to bed.
It’s time for my night medicine anyway, and I’ve got another book waiting on me.
I just wish the library had my series in order.
You really shouldn’t read this series out of order, but that’s what I’m doing.

One of my many faults is impatience. I admire those who can simply close a door and read a book. When there is no choice that is the best route to take.
You got a lot of snow. The equipment to handle lots of snow probably is in short supply there.
Sandra: I’m very impatient, but losing myself in a book has always been my escape from real life.
We got a crazy amount of snow. I think the final total was seven inches. We don’t really know how to handle that much. I read on one of the news sites that one town even ran out of salt for the roads.
