After driving home Saturday night in the CRAZY winter conditions mentioned in the post below, there was no way I was putting my car on the road on Sunday. So Pammer and I decided to get all bundled up and walk to the mall/grocery store, which isn't too far from where each of us live. I brought my backpack so that it was easier to carry our purchases home. We took a little detour to Mill Lake because i figured there'd be some good picture taking scenes, and it was quite pretty.
But what was to happen to all this snow? Was it to stay around and allow me to stay home from work on Monday? Alas, no....the Pineapple Express blew in and brought a whole lotta rain and warm temps...and when i say a whole lotta rain, i mean LOTS. This is the parking lot at work today, just after noon. You can see my cute little car there and it is in the process of becoming an island....it's a bit hard to tell, but in the foreground of this pic, there's quite a bit of water. The parking lot drains were no longer draining, something to do with how high the water in the river right behind our building was (see picture below this one)...so the parking lot was slowly becoming a lake (hard to believe that when i drove onto the lot at 8:30 this morning it was still covered in snow!)
And then as you can see out the back of our building, there's lots of water!! There is normally a walking path that runs through about the middle of this pic (sort of where that row of grass is). And in the foreground, it's usually all dry. All this to say that YAY i got to come home early today!!!!! The water was right up against our building and there was a worry with regard to electrical stuff or something....no matter to me, i got to come home!!
