Blizzard!!!!!!

We have been getting hit all day by a crazy blizzard. I left my boyfriend's house for home at 6:00 this morning and it was windy but not too bad to drive. I got home and got ready for work and that's when it started! On my way to work I almost missed the turnoff for my road, and then the entrance to my parking lot. They were both just completely covered in snow like there wasn't even a road there!
More than half of the office didn't even show up this morning. My manager left early in the morning to see just how bad the road conditions were and he got his 4x4 SUV stuck on the road right outside our office. He told us we were shutting down at noon, and if anyone wanted, he would drive behind them all the way home to make sure they made it.
I decided to convoy with two other people from the office who live relatively close. I got out to my car and the snow that had drifted behind it in less than 4 hours of me being at work was already up to my knees! I got stuck in the parking lot, but I got out of that one on my own. I got up the road and to the main freeway in the city, trying hard to keep my eyes on the guy right in front of me, even with zero visibility. As soon as I turned onto the freeway a semi passed me and i was blinded until i ran smack dab into a snowbank. I couldn't get out of that one but luckily there were 4 people from work right behind me and they came and pushed me out. I finally got home after almost missing my house because I couldn't see a thing.
I called my boyfriend and he said he was going to stay at work and see if the whole thing blows over before he tries going home, but it's supposed to be like this all night so I hope he leaves as soon as possible, or spends the night there. My grandma called to make sure I was home and said that every store and major business centre in the city has shut down, and even the university was closed. My brother spent two hours driving a 15 minute trip from where he was working to his shop, and he got there and his truck was buried in snow so he's not making it home tonight.
I hope this whole thing stops soon I definitely won't be going to work tomorrow. My car is already a giant snowbank, and there's no way I'd make it down the alley behind my house to plug it in so it probably won't start in the morning anyway.
Okay my boyfriend is home now. I can stop worrying.
