Snowy Weekend - beaten by the weather

Despite all the snow we got on Friday we did manage to get out for a bit yesterday but it snowed overnight probably another five inches and I'm sad to say the weather beat us. Usually on Sundays we go further afield, but it was just too snowy. By the time hubby cleared the driveway and pavement and had pulled snow off the roof it was (despite being below freezing) starting to come down with freezing rain. We decided to head out to the store, see what the roads were like and then make a decision. The roads were really nasty, hubby was tired out so we shopped and decided to just stop at the park on the way home.

Not a good idea! The car park hadn't been ploughed and we barely got into it. We were mostly stuck but hubby said we might as well walk as we were already there. Not fun at all. We only went around in a loop - it usually takes about fifteen minutes. It took us about forty-five. When we got back to the car park a young woman had tried to get into the park and got stuck. Hubby helped dig her out and managed to get her out of the park. After that we managed to get out fairly easily.

Sigh. It's the first Sunday we've missed for a long time. Oh well. The weather has to get better at some point, right? We're supposed to have some sun tomorrow. I can't wait!

Here's a couple of photos from yesterday.



We saw quite a few deer out and about. There weren't many people - not surprising lol.

  1. Very brave of you to venture out in all that snow! Hope you treated yourself (and husband) to some hot chocolate after you got home. :)

  2. We’ve barely had a flake this winter, just cold. I love the photos of the deer, how lovely to see them so nearby xx

  3. You were certainly very brave but what a lovely walk when you get views like that and a joy to see the deer.

  4. We missed all that snow, but my daughter who lives in southern WI said they had about a foot! You captured a wonderful photo with the deer.

  5. We had some snow but not quite that much.
    Today we have had sunshine and it's nearly all gone.
