A little background info: Here in the South, we don't get much snow. People here don't know how to drive in it, they don't know how to prepare for it, we just don't do it much! Actually, our weathermen don't know how to predict it either. They were "watching" this system for a week. They never told us we would end up with an accumulation, let alone a 5.25" of snow in a matter of a couple of hours. My mother-in-law, as a Christmas gift, offered a kid-free weekend. We were headed to Joe's brother's house to hang out for a couple of hours, cook dinner, and watch a movie. My sister-in-law brought her kids down and we headed out while the roads "were not too bad." Joe was going to stop by our house, leave his truck and pick up mine.
This is what the road looked like when we left my house.
Moments Later
Morbid, but to prove we can't drive in the South in the snow!
If you look closely, you can see me running up the road. A lady held up traffic for more than a half hour because she was afraid to drive down a hill. *groan* I tried to talk her into it, but it was a no go. I finally flagged traffic around her.
This is taken only 30 minutes later at my Brother and Sister in Law's house!
Needless to say, considering we don't *do snow* in the South, Joe ended up coming straight to his brother's house and we stayed the night!
