Snowpocalypse

This has been a CRAZY week!  On Tuesday they predicted some light snow by mid afternoon.  But at 10:30 it started snowing early and I got text messages that the schools were closing early.  I got the girls home and we enjoyed playing in the snow that was continuing to fall:

 

 

 

Little did we know that all of Atlanta was on the way to being in a grid lock on all the interstates and highways.  Lots of people didn't make it home and spent the night on the interstate, kids spent the night at schools because the buses couldn't complete their routes or their parents couldn't get to them.

 

Joe left work at 2:30 to head our way and didn't get home until 11:00 p.m.  He only has to drive 10 miles and doesn't get on the interstate.  There were several hills that cars got completely stuck on so Joe (and lots and lots of others) walked the last 3.5 miles to get home.

The next day there was nothing to do but play in the snow some more.  So thankful our family was all together:

 Abigail asked me to get her beach chair out so she could keep working:

 The girls were out of school the rest of the week. We were able to drive to Joe's car on Thursday morning.  So for January the girls were out of school 5 days due to weather!
