Do you remember me writing in December about my boys putting their cars into snow banks???  Well the saga continues!  Craig and Jordan are downstate at the regional bowling meet this weekend!  That leaves Trev, Kay and I on our own!  No problem right?  Trev is a big strong young dude!

Last night we got probably the worst storm of the season, and it was trecherous to say the least!  We got over a foot of snow in about 8 hours along with wind chills, blowing, and drifting!  Trev closed at McDonalds last night and headed home even though I advised him to go to his grandma’s house in town!  The State Police were advising that travel be limited to emergency vehicles only!  He didn’t listen! He did have a plan! ;(

His friends and fellow closers with a 4 wheel drive followed him home to make sure he got here!  Not a bad plan, right?  Well he did make it home but he couldn’t see the driveway and turned directly into the ditch!  The three of them tried with no success to dig and/or push the car out!  I couldn’t leave the car half in the road because there is the rare occasion that the snow plow does actually go down our road and might smash it into tiny pieces!  So what is left to do?  I certainly couldn’t get it out!!!  I called a tow truck!

Trevor went back out to wait!  Before too long at all I saw the flashing lights of the tow truck through my window!  But as quick as it came it disappeared! Hmmm!!  So I waited about 15 minutes because after all they could have turned the lights off!  Trevor didn’t come in, and didn’t come in, and didn’t come in…  So I put on my coat and went out into the entry way to see what was up!  I expected to at least hear engines running, but only the wind was making a sound!  I yelled out to Trev to see where he was and what was going on!

He heard me yell and came up to the door to fill me in!  The tow truck had come in the wrong direction and needed to go down to the corner and turn around!  On the way back…the tow truck went into a drift and then the ditch!  We figured they would get themselves out and be right back to get our car out!  That is what they do afterall!  Trev went back out to wait! Time went on, and went on, and went on!  So once again I put on my coat, went out the door, and yelled to Trev!  He came back to fill me in!  A second tow truck had come to get the first one out, and guess what???  It went in the ditch!!!  Not even kidding!! Now I had a car and 2 tow trucks stuck in the stinkin snow!!!  I can’t even imagine what my neighbors must have been thinking!

Finally at 4:15am Trevor came in for good!  A tractor type vehicle that we couldn’t identify by name came and pulled all 3 of them out!  They were stuck SO bad that the tractor had to use chains wrapped around trees to winch(?) them out!  After 3 long exhausting hours, how would I ever pay this bill???  Thankfully and fortunately, they only charged me for the one car that MY son originally put in the ditch!  $85.00 thank you very much!   Oh, and up until the time of this writing the all feared snow plow has still not graced us with it’s presnce!! :)))  We are very literally snowed in!
