I got stuck again!

I have to blog about our snowstorm yesterday because everyone had such a laugh at last year's adventure.
On Wed. they kept saying it was going to snow a lot on Thurs., yeah, whatever. Then on Thursday morning it finally started snowing a bit after noon. My manager made it my decision on whether I wanted to have class in the evening or not. I decided it looked like it was picking up and I would cancel it. So I took a half hour and called some students to tell them that there was no class. I shouldn't have done that.
I finally took off at 1:30, we live 10 minutes from my work. I had to find my car under all of the snow that had fallen in just one hour and I took off. It was slow, but I was doing fine. I got to the street (a major one in our suburb) that we live off and started going up toward our house. All of the sudden I saw a pick up truck stuck in the left hand lane. Then the 3 garbage trucks in front of me got stuck. Some people started going around, some waited behind me, some people just turned around. I started to make a decision after watching everyone and decided to turn around...I was stuck also!! I tried everything to move. I finally inched my way over to the side of the road so I was out of the way. Ryan called me twice on my phone and I just told him "I'm stuck, I'll call you when I get home". Some high school kids came out with shovels then and they helped push the taxi behind me so he could turn around. All of the garbage trucks were shoveling around the truck to move them to the side. The kids asked me what I wanted to do. I had turned off my car when I got to the side of the road because I had already been sitting there for a half hour and didn't want to run out of gas. The nice kids gave me some options, one of them was to back down the hill. The police had closed the road and I was the last idiot on it. They said they could guide me, but it was wide open so I could do it. I told them what I really wanted was a parking lot to park my car and I would walk home. I was only 4 blocks from my house.
After I got back on the "highway" I slowly went to the next street that went my way that looked plowed. When I started my adventure I was only 4 blocks north of my house. I backed up another 2 blocks and then went east for a mile. It was a long mile, so many cars were stuck. Plus you couldn't see anything. I finally saw another major street that was plowed and tried that hill. I got up it and went north another mile looking for a plowed street to go west on. I finally came to the county road that goes by our house of course and went west a mile. Do you see the perfect square I made? It took me an hour to do all of this.
When I had to take a left to get to our street I just floored it through the snow and hoped no one was on our street. I never hit the brakes the entire way down our street and it is downhill. I took the turn into our cul-de-sac going pretty quick but didn't want to stop. I opened the garage when I got close and went full force up our driveway. It was not fun. Later I shoveled and met some neighbors because 4 people got stuck trying to get up our cul-de-sac hill. The street we live on finally got plowed out at 6:30pm.
You know it is a fast storm in MN if they close the airport. They couldn't keep the runways plowed long enough to get a plane out, so they closed all the runways for about a half hour. What a crazy day. Thanks for listening to my boring story, now send money so I can move somewhere that it doesn't snow:)
