I hope you didn’t text your SM as soon as you got home. I would have waited a couple of hours and let her worry a little bit.
Oh, I did <g>. I didn't wait as long as you would've but I definitely made her sweat for a while.
I might even have made up a little snow-colored lie and said something like “Sorry I didn’t text you sooner but I skid at one point and had to wait for someone to help me get my car back on the road”. Bad Kitchop, fibbing to the boss.
A question about your friend who got 3 feet of snow that covered the bottom half of her two-story house: How would she even get out of her house if her door is blocked by 3 feet of snow? I’ve never lived anywhere where that situation would happen. What if it stays so cold that none of it melts?
My friend's mom wasn't actually home at the time. She and my friend's sister were on the way back from Thanksgiving at the sister's house. A neighbor took the picture. Some kind soul shoveled my friend's mom's driveway so she could go and out in through the attached garage. The weather has been cold enough all week that the snow not only didn't melt, it just got deeper as we got more snow. But it's supposed to be above freezing Sunday and 50° on Monday, so that will help remove some of the snow. TBH, I'm a little concerned about the snow melting; her house is old, and she's recently spent a ton of money trying to waterproof the basement with only marginal success. I'm hoping all that melted snow doesn't wind up INSIDE her house.
Ah. The door to the house from the attached garage. I forgot about that entrance. I’m glad she wasn’t home and that some kind soul shoveled her driveway. I hope she doesn’t get any flooding when it melts.
