Getting on the Road Before the Storm Hits

 It was definitely the quiet before the storm today in the Heinisch home with everyone trying to get on the road before the predicted ice hit.  Cal was the first to leave.  He had the auditing portion of the CPA in Ohio this afternoon.  He didn't want to take any chances on missing it and left last night.  I had Hilton points for him to use for a free night stay.  That worked out well for him as he was able to stop about five miles from his testing site.  

Meg and Nick were the next out the door as they left for Bloomington this morning.  They not only wanted to miss the storm, but also have time to stop at Popeye's in Indy before her vaccination appointment.  Meg called when they got to Brett's apartment to report that they made it safely and that Nick really liked his chicken sandwich.  The weather forecast also altered my parents' travel plans as they left on their trip a day early and made good progress on the way to their destination.  

Brett waited until 5:30 to leave.  The snow arrived earlier than was originally thought, so he did have to travel through it from Pierceton to Wabash, but otherwise had no issues and was home by 9 p.m.  Cal drove through the same area an hour later and experienced the worst of the early snow shower.  He was almost sideswiped at a four way intersection, but thankfully was able to stop before an accident occurred.  Needless to say, he was more than glad to be home before it got worse.  Doug spent the evening watching the snowfall.  He had to get up at 3:30 a.m. for inventory tomorrow morning and was concerned about the icy roads.  I was worried as well, but knew that Doug was a safe driver and there would be very little traffic on the roads at that time.  I said a prayer for him before I headed to bed and thanked God for the safe travels of the Heinisch family today.
