He got home fine and we decided to go back down the hill to go shopping today. He wanted to wash off the truck, it was muddy, so we stopped by a do-it-yourself place and he opened the door to get out and dissappeared. The floor was wet and icy and he slid right down on his butt almost under the truck. After I stopped laughing, I yelled, are you okay? He sat there for a minute and then tried to get up while doing a little soft shoe on the ice. The truck got washed off and he got a wet butt and I started the day off with a good laugh. He wasn't hurt, it all looked like it happened in slow motion! So although it is a high of 23* here right now and will be 14* tonight, I would rather be here, lindsey than where you are so much colder. I can't imagine it being that cold.
Stay warm, dry and safe for as long as you can!

Oh yes, the pass...I used to live in California and know exactly that area you are talking about. So glad to hear nobody was hurt.

We are facing an ice storm here in Arkansas. It's freezing here and I too patiently wait for spring.

Rivermom- It was so strange to wake up this morning and find the water pipes frozen to my kitchen! I am a native Southern californian so I haven't experienced this type of thing often. When I pick up poop, they are actually poop-sicles, and my outside trained dogs, stick their heads out of the doggy door and check out to see how cold it is.
Hope you stay safe & warm!

We're getting a nice snowstorm right now. So far there's no more than a couple of inches accumulation, but the forecast is for 7" tonight and more tomorrow.

I took Katie out driving today, since she's scheduled to take her behind the wheel exam on Thurs. She drove over 100 miles total and got to do the last 30 - 40 in the snow. She did ok but was a bit nervous about the road conditions.

I'm glad to just be home and able to stay put for the night.
