Car got stuck in my driveway - and it's snowing today

Okay this happened a few weeks ago, but I am just blogging it today. In Mid-January, when it was snowy outside, I looked out my window and saw a car in my driveway a few feet before where the driveway that my family and my uncle's family share forks into our separate driveways. A little while later my sister and I went to Dunkin Donuts and saw the car, it was actually not in the driveway, it was in the yard a little off to the side (from my house window it looked like it was in the driveway). Once we got home my sister texted our cousin and asked if anyone was at my uncle's house that might have their car in the driveway, my cousin replied that it was her grandfather's nurse who had gotten stuck (it was actually the nurse's first day too, at least with my uncle's father-in-law). Eventually the poor lady had to get her car towed up on one of the tow trucks with the ramp that carries the car.

Anyways, there is a lot of snow today. My dad's work was closed for the day, my mom got let out early at 11:30 and my sister's school is closed. The college where I already graduated from is closed too. It's a blizzard, the first one in our area since Dec. 2010. The Governor has declared a state of emergency and implemented a travel ban on the highways. The power companies expect 30% of their customers to lose power, due to high speed wind gusts. Snow is expected to reach about 2 feet.

As of this writing the storm is actually a Nor'Easter, but it is expected to become a blizzard.
