My friend Josh once said that driving in a snowstorm was like driving in a video game, but in my opinion, it's like a really shitty awful video game. I made it three hours driving up to Nate's parents' house with no problem, but the last hour was terrible: I could barely see out my window and I went off the road - on both sides - and only found my way back on because I ran over those bump son the side of the road. Nate calls them drunk bumps; I like to call them "Wake up, asshole" bumps. To make matters worse, a little spot on my windshield iced up, right where my eyes look out. I had to hunch down all drug-dealer style to see out.
We made it, but there was treachery and yelling. Good thing there was post-Christmas Christmas to be had after we arrived!
Snowstorm road trip - D
I had the same experience tonight...only it wasn't as long of a trip. I hate winter. The worst driving ever was coming home from Interlochen and I couldn't tell where the road was. I just used the billboards to kind of guess how far over I should be. It was horrible.
ReplyDeleteweather outlook for this week: never below 39 degrees. average of maybe 58 during the day.
ReplyDeleteI still wonder what possessed those ancient men to see that it kept getting warmer as they kept walking away from the land bridge and to say "Hey, I think it's best if we stay here and attempt to live in a place where our snot freezes inside our nose." Maybe they were just tired of walking. I hate walking.
Those thingys are called "Rumble strips" ANd they are actually to wake you if you fall asleep at the wheel. I did a speech on it once . . . .
