Winter Weather Updates: Snow, Ice & Cold Temperatures
Well headed home, already couldn't see the lines on the road, but i kinda knew where to drive. I saw a bunch of people turning around (that should have been my first clue) and then i saw one person drive off into the ditch, but i kept trudging on. About half way i saw two vehicles slam on thier breaks and vanish before my eyes. All of a sudden i couldn't see any farther than the windshield in front of me. If i closed my eyes it would have been the same. I also have big fog lights (the official yellow ones) and it made no difference, i started to swerve, and it felt like i was going fast but i wasn't moving at all. Next thing I know i see a break and i am sideways in the opposite lane, i tried to get back over but knew i was going to go in the ditch any second, i just somehow made it out and when i did the two cars in front of me were gone and in the ditch somewhere. The whole ride home was about 10mph with my hazards running. I really don't know how i made it home. When i got in i almost threw up and was shaking from how scared I was. This morning on the way to work I counted 7 vehicles still sitting in the ditches, and that was just my little way to work. I could already see some had been pulled out. I have been through many storms, but that one will go down as #1 in my book.
