Green Bay Shut Down

Tweet

My son surprised me this morning by showing up at 10 AM and taking me to his apartment to do laundry. I just got home. I didn't think to take my camera with me, as the storm results are phenomenal. It was almost a white out on the way to his apartment, and as we passed Lambeau Field, you would think we were in a heavy fog. No fog, snow. While I was there, you couldn't see anything out the windows. It was a complete white out. I just checked the totals, and nothing confirmed, but we have smashed a couple records, one being set in January of 1888 for 23.1 inches of snow, so we have at least that much on the ground or will have by the time this storm is completed by noon tomorrow. That said, I haven't ever seen a city completely shut down due to snow or a blizzard, as happened with this storm. I worried about my son going to work yesterday. No worries, they called off work. Even McDonald's has been closed for two days. The whole city is basically shut down. It looked strange to drive past businesses normally open at this time of day to find them closed and the parking lots almost empty. There were cars, but they were there because they got stuck by the snow. Even the roads haven't been completely plowed yet. It's hard to keep up the plowing with this storm. Am I happy? Yes. I finally have my blizzard. Though from what my son said, our water tables are still low. I took pictures as you can see as soon as I got home. They will be plowing the parking lot tomorrow, so I will be going to the library tomorrow while they do. The picture on the bottom right is my office window. There are no storm windows on the windows here, so the snow came right through the screen and gave it a 3D look on the glass. I don't know if you can tell that or not with the picture. So that's what's happening here, and now I don't need to worry about getting my laundry done. Though being gone all day, I do need to eat, so I'll be doing that while I get the notifications finished. How was your day? Thanks for reading.
