I drove in that snow Mike was talking about. Friday I had to trek down to South Bend IN.
This was a driving experience from hell I tell ya...
First we have a small mishap that leaves us leaving at night (daughter turned on suburban, or thought she did, battery doesn't like that, you get the message
)
On a 4 to 41/2 hour drive it takes a little over 7 hrs. IN has no snow coming, oh no, this is all MI lake affect. So I spend a blissfully no snow freezing week end in IN.
Come sunday, time to go. No snow but I know it is snowing in MI. I think how can it be THAT bad as I am just over the line between the two state?
The minute, literally, I hit "welcome to Michigan" it starts snowing, bad!
It gets worse as I head up state on 31. I miss a turn because I can not see the signs. Marilyn(daughter)gets fed up at not being able to see them, we are all crazily laughing at our predicament, she gets out and goes to the sign, she starts to shake it madly, I am hysterically laughing as I watch this from the car. Snow is falling all around her yet it is stubborn snow and will not get off to read and she is just as stubborn and keeps shaking, lol. Eric (my son) jumps out of the burb with the window snow brush starts down by the sign as well. He is 5'11 he steps down by the snow and shrinks to about 3 feet! Marilyn starts back, tears are strolling down my face, I just couldn't help this scene that was folding out before me. He gets out of the ditch? and gets in front of the sign and jumps up and whacks it. FINALLY we can see we are going the wrong way on the wrong rode! Nothing in these small towns were open, sometimes they fooled us by leaving lights on only to be closed anyway
Needless to say it took almost 11 hours to get home. I am still recouping!
We know there were dark forces at work that night, twilight zone or something
lol
and some were colder. It is the sun that makes me want to get out there no matter the temps. It even sets me to a better mood
