The Zereps

OK.. OK.. so we’re a little behind on the blogging. we’ve been pretty busy lately. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately; think I caught something that’s going around. Feeling better now though. We finally got DSL hooked up at our house! (Hurray for Qwest! They really go the extra mile to help you set up your DSL; our house had some internal phone wiring problems and the tech they sent out didn’t even charge us even though the internal wiring is technically ‘our problem.’)

As some of you know, Candice and I took a short trip to Northern California to visit family for the holidays. Unfortunately for us, since we drove from our new home in Colorado we spend 4 days on the road (2 each way) and only had 3 to spend in Cali. Most of you probably heard about the huge snowstorm that hit the Denver area. We got extremely lucky–we left at around 7am right when the storm was just starting; there was a lot of wind and snow, but no accumulation at that point. They closed the road behind us about 3-4 hours after we were there though because the storm was in full force by that time.

The weather after mid-Wyoming was pretty mild, up until we got to Truckee in California. I guess out-running one storm is one thing, but you gotta have some great luck to out-run two storms. Our luck wasn’t that good this time. We got stuck in Truckee for almost an hour; sitting in place, then driving 5-10mph for the next hour in almost zero visibility conditions down through the Sierra Mountains. We made it to Sacramento eventually though, but let’s just say it was a long day.
