Snow Blizzard

Christmas Eve this year brought a record setting snow blizzard for Oklahoma. We received 14" of snow! The weather men kept saying we were going to receive 6-10" but I didn't believe it. I figured it would probably end up being only 3 or 4 inches-but I was wrong! 14 inches! We've never had that much snow here. The closest was in January of 2000 where we got almost 9 inches. We had snow drifts up to 6' tall! Most were about 3 or 4 feet tall, but there were some that were 6'. In order to get to our house we had to walk through a snow drift that went up to my waist! It was just crazy! We had sustained winds of about 40 mph with gusts in the 60s. We definitely had a white Christmas! :)
On Christmas Eve we left Brady's parent's house to go grab some things from our house and take care of the dogs but it took us about 40 minutes just to get out of the driveway! Our car got stuck and we had to shovel out a bunch of snow and then push the car with Brady standing on the back of it. We were lucky to get out! There were cars stranded everywhere along the road! Some just stopped in the middle of the road. There were 20 car pile-ups because maneuvering around all the stuck cars was difficult and sometimes because of the blowing snow you wouldn't see them until you were just a few feet away. It was tricky stuff! Especially here in Oklahoma where the people nor the city is prepared for that kind of snowfall.
Brady taught Kolton how to throw snowballs at me! Lovely! ;) He had fun though!
