Thursday night-Friday (Dec 10-11)

Still snowing 2pm

Thursday night it started to snow, after blowing most of the day. Schools were closed in anticipation of the storm, but the most we got her on Thursday was high winds.

Friday was a different story. It snowed all night Thursday and blew the light snow all around. Schools were closed again. Visibility was practically nil. The library was closed. I went with Gordon to his office where most of the patients were called and re-scheduled. Two were seen and the office was closed by lunch time.

We got stuck in the Post Office's exit driveway due to lack of visibility. We couldn't see the driveway at all and missed it (as had others before us because there were tracks). Gordon rocked the car & I pushed until we could back up into the parking lot. Then we turned & went out the entrance which we could see a little anyway.

We are grateful for our neighbor who took his snow blower to our driveway in the morning before we left and then again in the afternoon after we got home. Still it kept snowing until evening.

It took two to clear our driveway!

There were numerous accidents all around due to the blizzard-like conditions. Lack of visibility; lack of traction; lack of ability to stop quickly. It all made for a dangerous day.

I am thankful that we, and our staff, stayed safe throughout the storm.
