Christmas in a Blizzard

This year, we went to the farm in Iowa for Christmas for 9 days. We arrived just before a blizzard hit and spent most of our vacation snowed in. Even though we probably only got about 18 inches of snow, every time the wind blew the little county gravel roads became impassible. While I did get good time with my parents and sister, I barely got to see my brother's family. I also didn't get much time to spend with my friends and extended family. There is just something about being snowed in that leaves me feeling claustrophobic. Overall, it was an okay trip, but I was so looking forward to it that I left feeling a little disappointed.
