As I'm sitting in my house wearing my warm jammies, I can hear the sound of the freezing rain hitting my window. Corvallis is on day 3 of this snow storm and after 18 inches the snow finally decided to stop! It started when I woke up Thursday morning, my alarm went off to get ready for work and I looked out the window, only to see a good 4 inches of snow on the ground! It's crazy how it snowed this much when just yesterday it was sunny and absolutely beautiful outside. Through out the rest of the day and all through Friday is just kept on snowing until Friday night. This is the most snow Corvallis has ever had in like 20 years! The last time there was this much snow was when I was little. I was maybe 4 years old and we were living in the Witham Hill Oaks apartments. It had snowed so much they had closed OSU where my dad was going to school. We spent the day together playing in the snow and my dad rolled up the snow into a huge snow ball, about as tall as him. He then carved a big snow man out of it.
Because of all the snow I didn't go to work on Thursday or Friday. Because I was stuck at home I wanted to do some baking. But in order to do that I had to go to the store. I'm glad I went when I did because my car is now covered in snow! On Friday I was getting a little stir crazy and decided to go for a little stroll through the crystal lake sports field. I made sure to bundle myself up really good. It was fun but it was also lot of work considering the snow almost went up to my knees!

Snow much is actually pretty exciting! I just wish was able to drive somewhere. Because Corvallis doesn't get much snow people aren't use to driving in it, so the whole city pretty much shuts down. I hope it melts soon because I'm getting stir crazy sitting at home!
