I was all prepped to do some taebo this evening when Jon came back in the house and announced that the doors to the car were iced shut. We tried boiling water, screwdrivers, and hairdryers before I went and got a neighbor who helped us try and get one of the doors open. (The problem, I think, was that the latches were also frozen.) It took us a good 90 minutes to do this. I ended up going with Jon to the churches so that I could make sure that he could get back in the car.

Taebo will be tomorrow — I’m cold and crabby and am off to shower and go to sleep!

We got 6-8″ of snow yesterday and had 40mph winds last night. This made for interesting snow drifts and so I went out to take pictures of them. My P.A. saw me when he was driving by and called me a crazy woman. (I’ve been called worse.) My mom called my cellphone and left a message saying that she had heard the news about the weather and she hoped that I had the good sense not to take my gloves off to check my messages. (Ummm… of course not.) When I talked to a parishioner, the first question she asked was whether or not I had gone out and played in the snow. (You’d think I was a former Californian or something!)

Some pictures now:

Me and my little ninja (who was happy that Mommy was also dressed in black)
