Ok finally after a little over a week of not being able to get on here I am back!

Lets start one week ago Saturday at about 7pm central time. We got hit with a freak blizzard. In about 15 hrs we got 35 inches of snow! Not the light fluffy stuff but the heavy wet stuff. So naturally being in the snow removal business I was busy...... The snow didn't just stop at that either as it snowed from Saturday till Monday. Total for those 3 days was about 45 inches. I plowed steady from 7pm Sat. through 6pm Tuesday. No sleep. Only break was for bathroom and a quick bite to eat. Got a break on Wed. no snow. During daytime on Wed. it was about 50 degrees F. Melted about 8 inches of snow.

Thursday the 10, my 23 B-Day, Adonna, Lilly, and I went to Duluth(65 miles from my place) to get my brother because we were in another threat of blizzard (with winds of 70 mph and gust of 100+ mph and 19 inches of snow) and we plowed one guy short last time. We went to the fish stores down in Duluth and picked up a new heater(200w) for the 42, female betta, KH test kit, and some food. We get done doing all this and decide to get my brother and head home because the blizzard was supposed to hit in 3 hours. We get to my brothers place. I tell Adonna to continue feeding Lilly and I will help my bro get his stuff. I go inside and use the bathroom and come back out. Something in my head tells me to look outside and check on Adonna. So I look outside and see her and baby lying on the ground. Both bloody. Instantly I get my shoes on and rush outside. My bro's wife grabbed Lilly and I helped Adonna to her feet and in the house. Lilly was bleeding from her left eyebrow. We took care of both of them then reported the accident to the office of the town homes. She slipped on the ice that was on the sidewalk leading to the door. Blah blah, skip ahead. On the ride back home we kept Lilly awake incase of concusion. Get to the hospital and go right to the E.R. Got both mom and baby in. Baby just got minor scratches to face and head. Now to mom, check her out.... go to x-ray..... come back.... wait for like 30 mins..... doctor comes in and says "you fractured your right elbow and you right ankle." Took about 2 hrs in the E.R. Get her rapped up and bandaged and I go get the Jeep, get outside and well there is a fresh 3 inch blanket of snow. Get everyone home safely. Get the phonecall its time to rock and roll.... ok snowplow.... Get Adonna and Lilly to sleep and head off.

It is 10:00 pm Thursday evening start plowing. It is now 7 pm Friday evening stop to get sleep. Total new snowfall of 27 inches of wet heavy snow. Yes another freak blizzard. Go home. Get home and decide to take bro and his wife for a ride in the woods jeep. Driving through about 40 inches of unplowed snow having fun. Go to park jeep and hit a snowbank in reverse and got stuck. Got truck out to pull it out and broke the rear drive shaft in half. Sat stuck all night.

4:00 am Saturday go back and finish snowplowing. Get done and home at 3 pm Sat. Got jeep unstuck 2 hrs later. Came on here about 4 hrs later and well here I am!

Have some cool pics of snow and whatnot. Will post tomorrow! Night all! Time to get some rest!

oh sounds like a terrible week, glad to hear your wife and baby are ok!

**Rue** · 04-13-2008, 03:29 AM

Oh dear! Your poor wife! How's she dealing with the injuries? Can she look after the baby?

**Tigerbarb** · 04-13-2008, 03:31 AM

What a week! It sounds like you've had fun! (jk, sarcasm)

I've been watching on TV and it seems surreal for April. The winds certainly haven't helped.

I don't think I could live there. MI is bad enough. I woke to a white ground this morning and by the time I was slamming doors and stomping around the apartment, it was gone again. 36 here is all.

Mental! Sounds like you were kept busy!! Now, you can just chill!!

She is having problems with her injuries. She can't hold Lilly or help change her. She can hardly get around as she can't use crutches. Its taking a toll on her emotionally.

Been listening to the weather and it sounds like we have another winter storm coming in sometime this week. About Thursday or so. They say maybe another 8-12 inches of snow.

I am currently uploading pics to my photobucket account. There will be a new folder titled winter blizzard that will have pics of all the snow we got! Just use the link in my sig and go to the winter blizzard folder. There is 71 photos.
