Let it snow!

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Well we finally got the blizzard they were promising! It was very impressive actually. I went to collect the kids from school and we had very cold rain. I got Cory and stood waiting for Rhiannon and then the snow started. I could barely see in front of me, it was so heavy! We just don't get snow like that here!. Within about 10 mins we had about 5 inches of snow! Everything was covered. Got home.. all cosy and warm with no intentions of going anywhere and then my sister called to say she was having contractions and needed to go to hospital! I have never driven in snow before but I headed off to take her! Well what a nightmare! The journey should have took 15 mins and it took 3 1/2 hours! The roads were gridlocked and there had been numerous accidents! All the time I'm aware she might give birth in the car! LOL! I skidded a few times and it was very scary. Managed to get her there and her partner was already there having walked from work as that would be quicker than driving! So then I set off home. It took 1 1/2 hours to get home! What a night mare evening. No news on my sister yet but at least she is there and I'm home in the warm
