The weather outside...

... is frightful.


What a day. I woke up this morning to the news telling me that there was a wreck on I65 south near my work exit. I slowly got out of bed, knowing it was gonna be one of those days i should have just stayed in bed. I didn't feel well this morning; sore throat, runny nose, this crazy weather has finally gotten to me.


I finally made it out of the house at 8:15, the traffic was a bit heavier then usual and i got behind a bus on Edmondson Pike... do you know how many kids live in those apartments there? Several.... I gradually made my way over across Hogan onto Franklin. Once on Franklin traffic came to a hault. If it was backed up on Franklin Rd that far north of Brentwood, i knew that it was gonna be a long drive in. So I turned around and headed back home and worked from there for a few hours.


Around 10:30 I made my second attempt through the pouring rain to make my way to work. This time I drove the back way down Edmonson to Concord to Crockett.... two hours after my first attempt, traffic was still backed up!!


I finally got to work around 11:15 and gradually started feeling worse - remember, i woke up with a sore throat and runny nose. Around 4:30 we looked out the window and realized it was snowing... and snowing it was. When I walked out to my car at 5:00 it was covered w/ snow.


Again, due the weather the traffic SUCKED. People were driving 40 down the interstate (I admit I was one of them, I lost my snow-driving skills 10 years ago). It took forever to get home, but i made it home safely.


It was still snowing a few hours ago, so i snapped some pictures. It's starting to feel like Christmas!

I don't think we had that much snow.
