SNOW

This weekend I was off call and I had an appointment in the city with the physician who is going to do my knee replacement. After that appointment we drove to spend the weekend with our daughter. We had a delightful dinner with them and visited for a while (it was raining), then went to bed (it was raining). We woke (it was raining) and cooked the cinnamon rolls we made last night had tea and generally enjoyed not rushing (it was raining). In the late morning we gathered ourselves and went on an adventure to the IKEA store (it was raining). When we arrived back at our daughter's house it was still raining and the prediction was for freezing rain and snow. We talked it over and decided that the best course of action was to cut our visit short and get home. It rained the entire trip home, but as we headed south, the temperature got warmer it was 34 degrees when we left our daughter's home and an hour or so south it was 41 degrees, we breathed a deep sigh of relief and kept driving to get home safely about 10:30 (it was raining) where we spent some time unwinding and then off to bed (it was raining). Wow! We woke to snow and snow and snow. I just talked to my midwife partner (who is at the hospital) and she said that the OR crew has been called in to just hang out and that ambulances are not doing transports because of the weather. She has been really busy this weekend. I told her that I'm not sure that I will be in tomorrow, because I don't know if I'll be able to make it down the hill. I live in the mountains above the town where I work, and there may not be a safe way into town. Oh darn - a real snow day!
