Ice, Ice Baby!

Rotten, rotten luck.  That's what I have.  It's been 9 years since I've celebrated Thanksgiving with my family so you can imagine how excited I am to have my dad, his fiance, and my little brother and sister flying here for the holiday.  Unfortunately a huge snow storm hit yesterday followed by an arctic breeze coating the roads with black ice.  Everywhere.  Freeways have been shut down, schools are closed, and everyone has been asked to stay off the roads.  Randy is currently trying to buy chains for our tires in hopes I might make it to the airport in one piece.  Of course that's assuming the flight from Utah isn't cancelled due to the storm that moved from here to there.
Like I said, I have rotten luck.
On the bright side, we have a yard full of Christmas trees and a long driveway that desperately needs to be shoveled but we don't own a snow shovel.
