This is what our road looked like the last few days. I was simply trying to go to town to buy groceries and do errands on my day off and I got stuck in the road. I ran back barefoot (I didn't want to ruin my shoes with mud, crazy what you're mind thinks up when you freak out.) I got stuck about 1 kilometer (or 1/2 mile) from our house. I ran home and got David to get me unstuck. He did get me out...but then ended up getting really stuck.
Stuck in the middle of the road in fact. I felt like I was in Africa, getting stuck on our own road.
We actually had to get TOWED out of our own road, out of the middle of the road!! The snow melted so quickly and the frost came out because the weather suddenly went up to 20+*C (75-80*F). Our neighbors said that they've never seen the road get this bad. I sure hope not! I'm really hoping that this isn't an annual occasion.
This is is my footprint. I came back in my "classy" winter boots.
I stuck this stick down into the deep ruts and it still sunk to the lowest part where my fingers are...so it was 12-18 in. deep of mud.
I ended up eating my lunch while we waited for the tow truck.
