Our 1st Ice Storm!!

I have officially lived through my first ice storm!! It has been snowing, sleeting, and pouring freezing drizzle since yesterday morning. Our office at work actually got shut down yesterday at 1:30pm and we didn't have to go in today!! I started off thinking, it just looks a little gray and foggy out there with some rain falling down. In Colorado that would be no big deal...we'd be out playing in the rain!! But then I realized that is was raining in 19 degree weather...hmmm...

When we left for work it was like a skating rink...I literally skated to the car in my heels. When we finally got home after not moving more than 30mph and watching all kinds of cars slid into, over, and around things we were relieved. We actually slid around quite a lot ourselves but we eventually made it home safe :). Today the office was technically open, but they told everyone to use there discretion and to not venture out if they didn't have to. Well, Dwyatt and I brought our work home yesterday so we stayed home and worked off our laptops!! It was fun to watch the storm all day. It's been one of those lovely gray days that you spend snuggling by the fire with a nice cup of coffee (and our laptops).

This afternoon we went out and took a few pictures to commemorate our first ice storm. It was fun, though we were only able to stay out there about 8 minutes, it was FREEZING!! Hope you enjoy :)
