Snow

I love snow when we are prepared with groceries :)

The last time it snowed almost two feet, we were planning to leave right after my shift at work to drive 3 hours north to our parents' houses. The road we take is full of hills and heavily wooded. 5 hours later, we were 10 minutes away from our halfway point and we were stopped by three jackknifed tractor trailers. We had to turn around and go back home, with cars in ditches and "manly" men showing off how cool their trucks are as they skid across the highway.

We arrived back home with an empty fridge and barren cupboards. Our plan was to be away for 10 days so we intentionally ate through everything we could prior to that. We survived on water, popcorn, and lots of canned food we forgot we had in the back of our cupboard. We made due and it turned out to be one of the greatest times I've ever had with my husband. :)
'tis the season I suppose.
