Looks Like a Little Rain May Fall

Or snow, or ice....depending on where you live in Minnesota.  But I think it's a few degrees warmer than it was last nite when I went to bed.  Speaking of bed....not a good night for sleep.....don't know exactly why....but the alarm going off at 7:00 a.m. caused me to snooze for another 1/2 hour before crawling out of bed.  I have only a few minutes to enter this...and I need to get in the shower and get to church.

I accomplished grocery shopping, shopping for the boughs at Bachmanns and 3 load of wash....but that was spread out over the hole day.   Oh no....the local news is suggesting no travel as light rain that started last night around 10 p.m. has left the road coated with ice and is causing lots of problems driving on them.  I wonder what I should do.  They are saying that driving was near impossible with hundreds of accidents.  I guess I'll try for church....but really slowly.

Love and prayers, m

P.S.
Just got home from church.....slip sliding away!!!  Going I didn't have a problem till I got to the church parking lot, and it was solid ice.  I slowly made my way into church after sliding into a parking spot without hitting anything.  Then skated back to the car....downhill....the ice hadn't subsided at all.  Once to the main streets, there was no problem till I turned up 109th Lane.....slippery when wet!!!  I tried to turn up my driveway and that was a trick in itself, but making it up the driveway was the real challenge....after trying to make a run for it about 5 times, I finally got out and carefully walked up the snowy edge of the driveway and found my safety salt and threw it over the top half of the driveway which was making the entrance to the garage impossible....then after skating back to the car....very carefully....I made my final run and made it all the way into the garage.  Smelling the hot tires greeted me as I got out of the car to safely walk into the house.  You can bet I'm not going anywhere the rest of the day.  The Vikings and Packers will try to entertain me as I try to beat William with my Fantasy Football team.  William has the edge by about 12 points, so it's not looking good to start.  So the moral of this story is....heed the weatherman's advice and don't drive....atleast in my driveway.  m
