Okay, I have to let you all know what just happened! Urghh .
So me and DH get in our car to go check mail, it is snowing but not all that bad. There are two ways to get there, the long way which take about an hour and a half or the short way which takes about 35-40 minutes. We never go the long way, why would we right?
Well we go the short way as usual and it seems a little bad that way, all open land no houses no trees so the snow drifts in quickly. Now let me tell you we have a smart car (mini mini mini car) LOL one drift gets so bad we can not see a thing! DH tries to manage and we drive in a big drift of snow. It is so windy that I can not even open my door because it is holding it back! I thought for sure we were screwed
Within 5 minutes a random truck comes by, thought for sure they were going to hit us because we ended up on the other side of the road , scared shitless!. They say, you do know this road is closed right! We have the stupidest looks on our faces and say no! AHAHAH 3 Men try to push us out and no go, they were falling from the wind! and offered us a ride to the nearest gas station. The two men were not together, one was a pick up that was stuck before us that could not get his truck out.
So we get dropped off to the nearest gas station and not dressed for the weather, still an hour walk to our house for sure! We see this guy pumping gas and we notice he has a plow on hus truck. DH and I look at each other and say should we ask him for help. We were both like kids saying you ask him, then I say no you ask him! HAHA. We approach this guy and he looked scared at first ahha but told us to get in. So happy!! HE had his 4 yrold son in the back. He was the cutest! His name was Ethan! So we get to our tiny car and it is almost buried in by now and we see a truck behind us, and it happens to be the 2 men that drove us to the gas station. They were coming back to try to get their truck out. The man which his name was Jamie had a rope in his truck and used it to pull us out. It was crazy DH almost blew away the wind was so strong. I was so scared while it was happening but now I cant stop laughing!hahaha
I offer the guy money for helping us and he says no, I insist and he does not want anything. The little boy says "dad what are you doing because I am hungry" It was so cute and I felt bad!
We are home now and a lesson learned , never leave the house without a shovel in the back of your car and some extra layers of clothing! AAHAH We will never be warm again!
