Wow! We just thought last week's snow was exciting, it had nothing on this week's 22 inches! Yes, parts of NWA got 22 inches of snow starting early Tuesday morning and not stopping until Wednesday afternoon. It came down fast and stuck to everything. Kevin woke me up about 7:30 Wednesday morning to show me how much we had gotten, I was shocked! By then the news was already reporting at least 10 inches in most places but some places had more and the snow wasn't ready to quit. Before all was said and done to say we were "snowed in" was an understatement. We had a snow that would make Colorado ski resorts jealous (although I am sure they get their feel all the time)! I knew things were bad when my brother sent me a text early Wednesday morning telling me not to even attempt to get out - the roads were a disaster and even the City of Fayetteville had told their workers to go home because trying to keep the sidewalks and roads clear was a lost cause it was coming down so hard and so fast. We didn't step outside until Wednesday night when Kevin ran a quick errand. We opened the garage and saw the snow against the house/on the driveway for the first time from that angle. Whoa! The shrubs under our front windows had disappeared! Our recycling bin that was at the curb was completely buried and the trash can next to it seemed small because of the snow built up so high against it. When Kevin backed out of the garage the snow was coming up to the middle of the wheels! As he pulled forward the front bumper of the Tahoe was pushing the snow as he drove forward. So many people are saying this is historic (and the news sure acted like it was, the 3 main stations were broadcasting almost all day cutting into soap operas much to my disappointment!) and people who have lived here their whole lives are saying they haven't seen anything like it before...I am personally happy to say we saw it and we are enjoying it (from the inside looking out) but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if this was the last snow of the year :).
