We got a little snow.

Another busy week on the books.  On Monday we drove to Pittsburgh (in the middle of a snow storm) to pick up the in-laws from the airport and have a meeting about another Ft. Worth Pipe facility in that area. 
Now if you recall, my last post was about my broken rump!  So a long slow trip across the country was less than enthusing to me.  But I loaded up my donut and headed off to get the fam.
Kevin and I took what would be a 5 hour drive from NY to Pitts and turned it into a 14 hour drive!!  Not really by choice though.  The traffic was horrendous.  At one point it looked like someone had shot cars out of a cannon all over the road.  I started taking pictures with my cell phone and within a 30 mile radius I captured 15 accidents!!!  And a few near misses on us!  UGH, talk about white knuckle and exhausting.  I think even more surprisingly was the fact that Tony and Elaine's flight was not canceled...delayed but not canceled!
Here is a pitcure of our drive in Pittsburgh.

So, everyone made it in safe and we had a good week!  Tony and Elaine left on Thursday and a worn out Kevin and I went to bed early...not checking the weather or expecting anything.
  
Woke up on Friday, and BAM!  Two feet of snow....
It continued to snow ALL DAY.  No exaggeration.  Kevin and I were packed and ready to head to NYC for the weekend to meet some friends and hang out in the city!  I was ready to go...but the weather decided for us that it was not going to be possible.  I kept watching the snow build and build and my hopes of getting out of town faded.  It snowed so much that Kevin and I had to shovel the whole driveway last night before we could even get in the garage.  We did venture out for dinner and found snow piled high in all parking lots!

Looks like we will be spending the weekend indoors instead of the city!
