This weekend, we got hit with ice harder than we got hit with the snow, and ice is when it gets scary! Luckily, the husband was traveling on Friday and for some reason, I offered to drive him to and from the airport for that trip (normally, he just drives himself.) It's a good thing I did because originally, he wasn't supposed to be home until the normal workday was over at 5pm. Since Minneapolis was getting ready for a big winter storm, he thought he should get on the standby list for the earlier flight just in case. He was able to get on that flight with no issues, bringing him back home to St. Louis at 2:30pm, and us safe and sound in our house by 3:30pm. That's basically when all the madness ensued. Freezing rain left hundreds of cars stranded overnight and according to the local police, there were over 1,000 911 calls for accidents. Had I not offered to drive him, I would have been caught in all of that coming home from work at my normal time. SO THANKFUL, to say the least.
