Yesterday was my last day at work until after Christmas! I was so excited to be off for an entire week and just spend time with my family and get a few things done around the house. It rained all morning and we were all expecting it to turn to snow sometime in the late morning. I never even saw the first flakes of snow until around 2 pm. By the time I left work at 2:45, the roads were becoming slushy. By 4pm, the ground was covered and the roads were white. Now, we sometimes get snow around here but not this much often enough for people to be "comfortable" driving in it. All night on FaceBook there were updates about people being stuck on the interstate because of semis sliding and blocking the road. Seth's cousin left her job in Kingsport (about 45 minutes away) at 4pm and finally got home at 12:45am. She sat in traffic for over 5 hours before someone could get to her. Her car is still sitting on the interstate.
The Jones family however, was home. We had a fire going, Seth cleaned that morning and made a HUGE pot of chili. Needless to say, we were not going anywhere. The only time we went outside was to let Nattie out. She absolutely loves the snow. This is her first "big" snow and she had a ball. She and I played for about 15 minutes around 5 and then Seth and I went out to play with her again around 8:30. With all the snow on the ground and falling, it is not nearly as dark out at 8:30. She likes to jump and catch the snowballs we make and she collapsed on my start of a snowman.
18 hours later, it is still snowing, TDOT is still struggling to catch up and Seth and I have an OUTDOOR wedding to attend tonight! I know they did not think this would happen on their wedding day. There will be a tent though. My sister is coming with her husband Ben and dog Millie on Tuesday so we are hoping some of this sticks around long enough so Millie can play with Nattie. She is an indoor Florida dog though...wonder how that will go. She may need a parka. Here are some pictures of our snow day.
