We got caught yesterday afternoon after spending time at the motor vehicle and V.A. doctor thinking that the storm was going to come from the Denver area but we were caught by surprise not knowing it was moving in at our house after we left instead.  It was the longest drive home ever, never going over 30mph.  It took at least one and a half hours.  We were slipping and sliding all over in 4 wheel drive and the only way to come to a stop was to downshift the transmission.  We passed what seemed like a grave yard of  numerous abandoned cars that slid off the road into ditches.  We even had a call from my son's school saying a bus was rear ended and they had to move the kids to another bus.   No one was hurt thankfully. 

     Today is not a good day to be a farmer.  We had to dig through 4 foot snow drifts just to get to our barn and coops to feed and water the animals.  The wind is still blowing hard and howling out here.   The animals have no interest in leaving their houses (understandably).   It's going to take a while to melt this off.  Were not looking forward to going back out there but the animals need us.   I wish summer would hurry up and get here!
