Coming to you live from the baggage service office at Detroit Metro Airport. Older son is here, but his baggage is not. This is putting all our Christmas Eve plans in doubt, but honestly--whatever. At this point, I'd prefer to just get home and go to bed.
The drive here was harrowing. This is one relentless storm. Unlike most winter storms in Michigan, it didn't just drop a ton of snow in a few hours and leave, it has lingered and slowly bludgeoned us for about two days. It's bitterly cold, icy, snowy, windy.
That's all for now.
Live update, part 2: It is 9:03 EST and we are driving in these conditions:
[Sorry folks, Blogger will not accept my photo for some reason, so you can't see what the road looked like. Suffice it to say it was extremely snowy and icy].
Snow still coming down hard. We are stuck in a snow vortex. I hope we are home in about a half-hour.
Update: We safely arrived at our Christmas Eve festivities, only three miles from our house, and were able to enjoy a few hours of eating and gift exchange. Then we finally got to "home sweet home" at about 11:20 PM.
