And, it snowed and it rained and it snowed . . .

We have had about 2 weeks straight of mostly snow. But we have had freezing rain and more snow and now rain again. The chains finally came off the car last night (although I needed them in the morning to get off the hill!

I was finally able to thaw the car out on Christmas day. The ice was incredible! I was able to remove the ice and couple inches of snow and then we received another 5 inches of very wet and heavy snow.

When the snow started to melt it was so heavy, as it slid off the hood of the car, it set the car alarm off! The new car doesn't like it when the emblem is moved, the other car didn't care. I don't know if that is an upgrade feature the newer caddy has that the blue one didn't have or if the blue one isn't connected. Something to figure out before we sell the blue one off.

Bill made it home, finally, last night around 10:30pm. About a week late but no worse for the wear. He spent a nice Christmas with the Mohlers and the Woods. Evidently he has shopped and been to more malls in the last week than in the prior year. I think the rest and relax was good for him! William is very happy to have his dad home as are Hy and Paul. We may have to pry Paul's feet from Bill's shoulder to get him to bed tonight!

Hope your holiday was nice and bright and fun!
