I got a "free" vacation day today! With all of the snow melting and the steady downpour of rain all night long, roads all around us were shut down early this morning. Here is a picture of what I would have had to drive through to get to work:
Schools were cancelled and volunteer firemen were called home to help with evacuations and putting up signs along roadways.
DH was called home to help. My main problem with that is that his company will not pay him for being called out to volunteer for his community. They use his training that our community pays for when they need him to respond to a medical crisis or fire at work, but yet won't pay him when his community needs him. I don't think that's right. So we'll take a big hit in the paycheck for this week.

Roads are still closed and it's doubtful if we will be able to get out for work or school tomorrow either. Guess it depends how high the river crests tonight and how much it recedes.
