I would like to say that when I was a student at The University of Iowa, they NEVER canceled classes.  Now that I am not a student, they canceled classes yesterday and the night before, so I know that the weather was going to be HORRIBLE!  When I drove home Tuesday evening, it took me 45 minutes to get home.  I usually can take the interstate and make it home in 20 minutes.  This time, I did not risk taking the interstate and took the “Coralville Strip” which connects Iowa City with my town, Tiffin.

The wind was howling and so strong that snow actually blew into my fireplace!  When I woke up on Wednesday morning, there was about a foot of snow in my parking lot, not plowed and reports of interstate and hwy travel were not advised.  Great, I was snowed in.  So, I got a snow day from work.  It was NOT fun.  I think at about 3pm they finally plowed my lot and I attempted to head out to get milk.  The main roads were cleared off except for the side road, I almost got stuck turning a corner!

When I reached campus this morning, I was SHOCKED to see the mounds of snow piles.  The roads had snow piles in the center, acting like a median.  There was not place to put this much snow except there.  Campus is like a wonderland, but I do not want to be Alice.  I hate the snow and the cold.  In the end, I have survived and will live here for a while longer.

I am anxiously awaiting spring!
