2/29/08 Friday in Ohio

Hi,
Woke up to it snowing lightly. It was still dark out but decided to get an early start. Then it started really snowing hard- blizzard like- I couldn't see a thing!!
I was driving on the Interstate going only 20 mph with my flashers on so I wouldn't get hit- I couldn't see the road so I was using the warning strip on side of highway to keep myself on the road (wake up bumps). I kept my right tires on the strip- I knew as long as I could feel the bumps I was still on the highway and not heading off the road.
By the time I made the next exit there was about 15 of us poking along- but amazingly there were idiots flying by us!!! Most of us got off the next exit and went to a truck stop to wait the storm out. The truck stop was packed. There was a lot of people with the same idea as me. We sat in the restaurant part and watched all the police, ambulances, and tow trucks going back and forth. More people came in to report cars and trucks off the road all over the place...I was not surprised with the way these crazy drivers were flying down the road.
About 2hrs later, the sun came out and things started to melt. I started back out again. I made a stop in Columbus to get my oil changed.
I had bad weather again when I got into West Virginia and had it all the way home...snow,snow,snow...what a long trip it was! I was glad to be back in Massachusetts.
I will be back to update you more later.....until then take care everyone!- Love Donna
