Yup, snowed in.

So. Now, here I am. This time in good ol' Perham. Urg. I just drove for two and a half hours on some of the worst roads I've seen, and I made it to Perham. Still about 30 miles from home. Whew. I finally stopped, but only after trying my 'darndest' to make it home.


First, tried the regular route...but the very rutted-over-a-foot-of-unplowed-snow-on-the-road and my nerves just didn't get along very well. So then, I, in all my great wisdom, was going to attempt going by way of Wadena (come ON, I just wanna be HOME!). Back to Hwy 10 I went, since when I had left it, it was at least drivable...but, I guess Someone smarter is looking out for me. 'Cuz I think it was right about the time I went through that one drift in the 'enter ramp' and the snow actually went over the entire Jeep and I felt like I was in a snowbank that the alternator/battery and who knows what went into cahoots and in no uncertain terms, informed me that I. am. staying. here. I guess Eric doesn't call me a stubborn Finn for nothing.


Shoulda gone home and stayed there, shoulda stayed at work and at least got paid...shouldacouldawoulda


Ah, well. As I said. Here I am. Cold, wet toes (but I do have my slippers!) not at all impressed but safe and sound.


Welcome winter!


Oh, yes, at least I have that gallon of milk I was supposed to pick up...and some pork chops, a loaf of bread...whoo, hoo. Um, I won't starve? ;)
