Snow days

(1959 February 11)

We have been having the weather tho! Tuesday it snowed all day. L was bound to try to go, tho the driveway was level at 8 a.m. already. I told him what would happen if he tried, but he had to get stuck to prove it. 105 schools were posted by radio as "not today." Debb Whitess had a notice for cars to be off streets so his crew could plow. St. Marys let out at noon. School buses quit. On and on it snowed. M & L rode with Hinkes Tuesday, then neither home for lunch - a long day for me. I shoveled off the south deck so ceiling wouldn't sag - one 3 ft. drift. Poor me. After school they came back in a cab and dug the car out and got it in garage, L too tired to [work on his] stamp [collection]. This morning drive still level and Hinkes' car stalled so they got garage to come - battery trouble. However when they got to Shell Oil, Ruth got a flat tire and car stopped again. L called a cab for Tom, Di, MM and he walked. They were 20 minutes late. All day again today I was snowed in. I laundered one pair of M's curtains and did some housecleaning in her room. Shoveled more snow off deck. They came home in a cab once more at 4:30. Gaylord came and shoveled the drive but L was so apprehensive at driving thru a tunnel [his field of vision] at night we didn't go to church. I think he will try it tomorrow tho. So I say if we are having a crisis in weather Saturday, include me out.
