What a drive!

So Val and I made the drive home from the Quad Cities Sunday morning/afternoon, and man it was a frightful one. I've driven in some bad weather before, but I don't think I've ever made such a long drive in such terrible conditions before. The road was basically ice covered for the most part, and in some parts there were snow drifts covering the roadway that would appear suddenly. The wind was whipping up the snow so much that for most of the drive we could only see about 50 yards ahead, and occasionally we literally couldn't see the front of the car - everything was white! The wind was strong enough that there were a few times when a gust would hit the car and I could feel the everything start to slide, like the road was just slipping out from underneath us. And to top it off there were still drivers who were passing everybody like the road was just fine! Not only were they endangering themselves and their car, but everyone else's on the road.
I'm a pretty confident driver, but my nerves were pretty tattered by the time we got to Madison. Luckily we made it just fine. Have a safe and fun holiday everybody!
