I
really need to be careful of what I wish for.
Last week I wished that we would get a decent snow fall, Saturday night into Sunday we got nine inches. When they plowed the roads they didn't throw down any gravel like they used to and the snow left on them turned to ice This morning we got another three or so inches, plus heavy winds.
When we get heavy winds, the road that ours connects onto gets a snow drift that until you get right up to it, you don't realize how deep it is.
Well, my car is now sitting in at least two feet of snow that even our neighbor with his 4x4 truck couldn't get me out of.
He also told me that if I called the county and they were in the area, they would pull me out. Well guess what, I called and they're not in this area.
I really should have known better. 'sigh'
The county called me back and said the driver cleared around my car. Well, he cleared in front of it, but not behind. Luckily for me, the mail carrier had just stopped at our house when I was walking up to get it, so he helped me dig out around it and get the car out.
I went down the other road and turned around and who do I see stuck where I was before, but Dave. I tried backing up and yep, you guessed it, got stuck again.
Dave got himself out and tried to get me out and after a couple hours, was finally able to. We went south down the other road I turned around on and after four wheeling in our front wheel drive cars, made it home about ten minutes ago. Needless to say, we probably got enough exercise to last us until spring.
Next time I'll know better.
