Snow up here too, maybe 8+" making it a 'real' snow IMO, supposed to 
be raining sometime tonight. Took me almost an hour to get out of the 
drive, down the hill & up the other small one, turned around and back 
into the drive. Put the chains on the '84 VW bus (the Bay window and 
Vanagon are NOT the early buses(57-67), they are not worth a darn in 
the snow) and drove the 3 miles to pick up the little kids from where 
the bus dropped them off. On the way home passed daughter Aurora (she 
is doing well and seems to have beat the Leukemia at this point) 
stuck in a ditch. The bus (with chains) got her pulled out and she 
drove up the hill. The daughter in town with her rear wheel drive 
decided to leave her kids here for the night and so we just wait for 
one more to make it home. The chains are still on the bus <g>.

With any luck our snow will be gone sometime tomorrow... Good luck Lynda.
