Our Winter Adventure


It snows in Winston Salem several times a year..... but it does not ever stick, and if it does, it is not more than an inch. Winston usually has more of a problem with ice... but not Sunday night!! It started snowing around 8...and it was still snowing when we went to bed. The snowflakes were huge....it was beautiful!! We got about 5 inches. The above picture is of our front yard!
These are pictures from Sunday night....





And these are pictures from Monday morning when we woke up.....












Everything closed and most people got to stay home and play.... but unfortunately a hospital can't close. As a matter of fact, b/c of the ice problems our area has, our hospital has a very strict policy on inclement weather...if you are concerned you may not be able to get back to the hospital than you should not leave the hospital. They provide us rooms if we request them. SOO... thankfully, Joey being from WV, is used to driving in this.... so we left home an hour early and began our journey to the hospital.



The roads where we live were not bad, so I was able to take some picts and enjoy how beautiful it was!






The closer we got to Winston, the worse the roads were....



But we eventually made it!
