Snow, Snow and More Snow

We went to lunch at Hubby's parents' house after church as usual. It was snowing, but not too much. By the time we were done eating, it was falling pretty fast. I was supposed to pick up Tiny about 4:30 so we could make it back to evening service. I asked Hubby if we shouldn't try to pick him up early because of the weather. He went out for a ride in his brother's new truck and came back to announce that we needed to leave now because the truck was sliding. Great. That was a little before 2. I called Tiny's dad to arrange to meet ASAP. I told him that if we left right then, we could meet at 3:15.

We attempted to go over the mountain and a truck coming towards us started sliding across the lane. Nice. So we stopped. Once you stop on that stuff going uphill, there's no starting back. There were other cars coming towards us at the top of the hill, so we BACKED down and turned around and went back to the house.

Hubby, his dad and brother finally got our car to the top of the mountain only to be stopped because the road was blocked with stuck vehicles. They all came back.

Hubby and his brother got in his truck and Hubby's dad followed with me, Hubby's brother's wife and their 2 kids to make another attempt to cross the mountain. When we got the the top and started over, a woman was WALKING up the hill in the middle of the road. What? She never moved. The brother had to hit the brakes and slide over into a ditch. I don't think the woman ever moved. So we packed the 2 of them into the back hatch of the FJ Cruiser and headed back again.

The 3 men left again to try to pull brother's truck out of the ditch. They were met by the State Police and told to move the truck immediately. Duh, that's what they were trying to do. They made it back with the truck.

So, Hubby, me, brother and dad all piled into the FJ Cruiser and they took us home. Once we got over that dang mountain, it was smooth sailing!! Hubby seemed to think he could have gotten the car over, but I'm glad we didn't try it. I couldn't take any more drama for the day.

We got home about 6. Then headed out to get Tiny. Talk about a crazy day!!!
