Last night we went to the last Christmas part of the season.  The normal driving time is 45 minutes.  It took us two hours.  That should have a clue that it would have been better staying home.  But no, G always tells everyone he is from Minnesota and can handle all winter weather. 

Note the smile on his face.  I had the good sense to stay inside the car and be the photographer.

It was a miracle we got home.  There were drifts a couple feet high on the country roads.  Well, maybe only one and a half.

We only had to walk only the length of the driveway.  Who knows when we will get the van out.

This car is hibernating.  

We are grateful that the electricity  has not gone out and we are toasty warm.
