SNOWED IN!

Cold temperatures crippled the area and drifting snow piled up, blocking front doors and closed interstates and local highways. Government offices, schools, transportation plus many stores and businesses closed for a few days.

Looking out the window, not a creature was stirring not even a snowman.  Everyone stayed in doors, attitudes and temperatures were to negative for building a snowman or going sledding. We huddled in the warmth of our homes. Trapped, was more like it.

What if before the storm, you had company that required "extra grace" and they/you were all "trapped" together!  They were already eating all the food.  She laughed to loud, He wasn't as funny as he thought he was.  Your nephews were Bungie jumping" off the kitchen table!?

Imagine the guests had only planned visiting for the day.  While you loved to keep your house looking like (in your meager way) "Downton Abby", the visiting Duke and Duchess and prince and princess  had it looking more like "Hoarders." Watching  the T.V. news, they yell: "Looks like we are snowed in!  Look honey,they got a frozen pizza"

You then make call after call to the State Police asking if the roads are open yet.....  When the rubber (or ice) meets the road and you're snowed in?...........

We might have to pray about it.  It's going to be a long winter.
