OMG snow! I stayed with my aunt Tues. night which ended up being good or bad depending on how you look at it. If I was home I would have had a snow day (yay!), but since I was here I ended up going to work (and getting paid, yay!). I really wanted to go home this afternoon, but even when the crazy snow had stopped at work (we were getting an inch an hour this morning), it was still going strong at home (I heard closer to 2" an hour, visibility at about a half a mile). So it didn't seem worth the risk to drive over the mountain so I'm back at my aunt's.
This morning I had a scary moment. My aunt's street wasn't plowed. You have to go up a little hill and then cross some railroad tracks. It was snowing heavily. My little camry got stuck with my front wheels on the tracks, then I saw the train coming from the left, the lights started and the railway thingy started to come down, so I threw the car (an automatic) into a lower gear and accelerated (but not too fast because of the snow) and it jerked forward and I cleared the tracks before the bar finished closing. It freaked me out; the rest of my drive was uneventful.
It's a good day when you don't get hit by a train.
Also my aunt (who keeps her house freezing cold, literally 55-58, which makes sense because she really doesn't have the money for oil, but is still really uncomfortable) turned the heat up to 65 for me tonight :) it's positively balmy!
