Winter is really Here!!

I guess Winter is really here.  It seems that every where across the country it is so snowy and cold. 

A week ago we had a really wet snow here.  So I take my daughter to her friend's house and apparently hit a speed bump to hard that caused the serpentine belt to slip on my van.  So I lost the power steering in the car.  Because I had my slippers on I decided to risk driving the car home.  It took all of the muscles I had to drive that beast home in that deep snow.  In turn it packed tons of that wet snow under the car freezing the belt.  Then the temperature plummeted and it really got cold .  It took us (my husband) about 24 hours to thaw the car and remove all the snow from underneath so that he could get the belt loosened to put it back on again.

I felt bad and did sweep out about 2 inches of water from the garage but my slippers stayed dry!  Good thing I did not have to walk home in that storm. You think I would know better having lived in Alaska.

So I have decided to stay in and never leave my house until the thaw!  Well that wont work so I hope we all can stay warm and wear shoes out in the cold just in case you have to walk home!

Have a warm day!
