Snow

This week we traveled to Waterloo, Iowa for a business trip. I was travelling alone, so Vicki was able to come along. I didn't think the weather forecast was all that bad until we got here. Then we saw how much snow and cold was predicted, and the predictions came true. It snowed all day Tuesday, and was really snowing hard by late afternoon. Driving back to the hotel in the dark & heavy snow was an experience. I made it OK, but sure wished I had 4 wheel drive. It snowed all night and most of Wednesday. I ended up not even trying to get to the factory. Instead I tried working via the internet from our hotel room. Man, was that slow! I kept forgetting what I was trying to do.
The temp started dropping last night and continued down all day today (Wednesday). Right now, Wed evening, it's only 4 degrees, headed for a -7. It's not going to warm up much before we leave on Friday, but at least the snow is over after about 12-14 inches.
Tomorrow morning I will have to shovel the car out and go to work. Friday we head home, then Sunday we head south for Houston. That's going to be quite a change going from being snowed in, in Iowa, to the balmy temperatures of Houston.
I'm getting another checkup in Houston. Pray that the reports continue to be good. We will be home late on Tuesday the 15th.
