I would like to say that when I was a student at The University of Iowa, they NEVER canceled classes.\u00a0 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!\u00a0 When I drove home Tuesday evening, it took me 45 minutes to get home.\u00a0 I usually can take the interstate and make it home in 20 minutes.\u00a0 This time, I did not risk taking the interstate and took the “Coralville Strip” which connects Iowa City with my town, Tiffin.<\/p>\n

The wind was howling and so strong that snow actually blew into my fireplace!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Great, I was snowed in.\u00a0 So, I got a snow day from work.\u00a0 It was NOT fun.\u00a0 I think at about 3pm they finally plowed my lot and I attempted to head out to get milk.\u00a0 The main roads were cleared off except for the side road, I almost got stuck turning a corner!<\/p>\n

When I reached campus this morning, I was SHOCKED to see the mounds of snow piles.\u00a0 The roads had snow piles in the center, acting like a median.\u00a0 There was not place to put this much snow except there.\u00a0 Campus is like a wonderland, but I do not want to be Alice.\u00a0 I hate the snow and the cold.\u00a0 In the end, I have survived and will live here for a while longer.<\/p>\n

I am anxiously awaiting spring!\"\"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
