Photos: Snow in SWoCo

My husband and I decided we’d take my son over to see my 92 year old grandmother at the rehabilitation center early this afternoon.  The roads were fine and the snow was getting sporadic, so we thought it would be okay to take a little ride over to see her.  Little did we know that things would change very quickly.  Soon, even the main roads (even Electric Road and Brambleton) were covered and the snow was falling rapidly.  Fortunately we have 4-wheel drive, but there were plenty of cars out there that looked as though they were struggling… some even had to turn around at some of the bigger hills near our house.

None of these photos are glamour shots, but they’ll show you how bad the roads are right now.  My husband, son and I are now safely at home and enjoying being together on this snowy afternoon.  Be careful out there!

Did you see the rainbow?
