A Day in our Life with Snow in the South - Our Home a Week Later

1 comments
 
A week after snow here in the southeast...Chattanooga, TN. Finally yesterday my husband slid the van down the drive. It was a very scary thing for me to watch. We are still badly iced. See the picture below.

That is all ice under that snow. Our car is still up there. We have to park the van on the street. However with a driveway like this comes a house on a hill similar to it...So this is how we get our groceries in.

It is not really easy because there is still a lot of snow and it is kind of slick...A few more pics of our hill. Which by the way made for great sledding. You can see the path on the right of the pic.

Practical shoes for this type of snow on a slick hill is a must. Makes me think that the Parsley's will be dressing down for church tomorrow. It will not be gone by then.

Here is a better look at the sled track! It was really pretty fast. So again as life goes on for most of those in Chattanooga. We are still really crippled in what we can do. Not really bringing up tons to the house this way.
Such an interesting memory for us.

We've finally thawed out in our neck of the woods in NC...my daughter was out of school for three full days, with 2 hour delays the rest of the week. One of those 2 hour delays was due to a water main break in the city that affected 50,000! I'm sure it is due to the weather. Yep, down here in the South, icy, snowy weather is quite an event! I made sure we were stocked up on groceries, but I forgot the toilet paper! By day 3 I had to venture out for a trip to the store! Fortunately by then the roads were fairly clear during the day but icy by night. I'm hoping we don't get too much more of this stuff, although it is kind of cozy to be snowed in! :)
