Christian Weddings

snowed in!!!

so i came to my hometown (about 2 hours away in the mountains) on thursday night for a friend who had a homebirth.
it was a beautiful and amazing experience...and i was going to leave friday morning...but its nowed like 2 feet and now i am still here and missed a day of work today! my boss IS NOT happy about it...(and neither is my paycheck...i have exactly 5 months from my wedding and need all the hours i can get)! i check the weather and it is saying that it isnt gonna stop snowing for like 10 days! the pass to get over is requiring chains or snow tires...which i do not have! i literally havnt left my friends house since thursday since all the snow. her neighbor is awesome and has kept the walkway shoveled for us...but the roads are crazy!!!
i dont have good tires..and even if i can get over the pass with out anyone stopping me to put chains on....i am scared to drive in all this snow!!!
its not worth the risk to me. if i didnt have a job...i wouldnt care...but because of my job, i really need to get back. the hotel i work for doesnt have a lot of ppl to cover shifts and one girl is out sick for a few days. literally my boss is working 16 hours straight to cover both shifts (hers and mine).

please please pray that the snow will stop and i can make it home, hopefully by tomorrow...but at least by tuesday night (i work wednesday at 7am).
thank you!
here is a pick that i took this morning when i woke up outside my friend's window.
what is on top of the trashcan is just what has snowed last night.
there was absolutely no snow on the grass when i showed up on thursday night. today (saturday) there is about 4 feet!

    Please be careful and don't take any chances.  The weather is not something you have control over so hopefully your boss will be understanding.  I'll be praying for you.

    Uh oh, Sorry you're snowed in!  I know what you mean about missing work for SURE.  I hope you are able to make a safe trip home soon.  But if not, treasure the time you have and try to make the best of it!!! :-)

    I hear it is suppose to snow all week... I am assuming you’re in Tahoe.  I live just below Tahoe.  Please don't leave until the roads are cleared.  You don't want to die.  No job is worth that.  Do you have someone from where you live that has 4 wheel drive that can come pick you up?  That would be the best situation.  Good Luck!  Stay safe.
