It's pretty but it aint fun!

We got hit pretty bad with winter whether the last couple days. I would say we got at least 6 inches of snow and a solid sheet of ice.
I went to open my door yesterday and it was literally frozen shut! Well, this morning I went to leave for work and the ice was so thick on the front window and it refused to go anywhere! My scrapper couldn't get it to crack, not even a little. I tried and tried. At moments I just gave up and sat in the car a while and hoped it would eventually thaw out. I was so cold, especially my hands. I really wanted to cry.















Eventually I found one tiny opening of the ice on the windshield and it got better from there. I pulled out and then stopped again at the end of my parking lot because the snow was so high I couldn't see above it.

At this point I thought my poor little fingers were going to fall off. Lucky by then my car was nice and toasty.

I had a pretty smooth drive to work. There were a few covered roads still. But I didn't have a problem until I pulled in. I did not give myself enough time to stop so when I turned into the driveway I pulled in a rather large pile of snow where they had shoveled their drive. Not even with a 4 wheel drive did my Liberty want to come out of that. I tried and tried. I got out numerous time to kick snow the snow from around the wheels. I even was digging snow from around the tires with my hands. I prayed, begging God to please help me. It took a few more times of me getting out of the car and repeating the same thing, until finally I got the car out. I almost started crying again and said, "THANK YOU LORD!"

After all that, I was about an hour late. When I got inside I was wet, cold and pretty much exhausted. Later I looked at the hood and I am telling you what there were blocks of ice several inches thick!

Yep, it was a bad morning, and no I am definitely not a fan of winter!
