The joy of a Rexburg winter!

Winters in Rexburg are always hard. There is the constant snow, below zero temperatures, and the ever present wind chill. This winter was proving to be an exception to that rule....until last night. It snowed....and snowed....and snowed! So much for my hopeful thinking that spring would arrive early. Don't get me wrong we need the snow and I am glad it came because it will bring my beautiful Idaho spring. Well the real reason I wrote this is to tell of my adventures getting to the Stake meeting we had tonight. When we went to get to the car all of the doors had frozen shut!! There were 5 of us girls. We managed to get one door open after much effort and I climbed in. I tried unlocking the doors from the inside and after a few minutes of trying I manged to get the rear passanger side unlocked as well. In the mean time Destiny is scraping the window which are so covered in ice we thought the scraper was going to break. (I think she did end up chipping it) By this time we were running seriously late for our meeting so we decided to just climb in. Natalie who was driving had to climb in the passanger side which was quite an amazing feat!! Considering the size of her center console. The rest of us piled in and off we went...sliding all the way! It was such an adventure, there was a lot of giggling and squeeling. And that my friends is one of the many joys of a Rexburg winter!
