Thank goodness for Hannah tonight

Central PA had a serious snow squall. Rick called me on his way home from work; he had his Tundra and couldn't get up the hill to our road. When I came home, at the traffic light off the highway to turn into our little village, there were multi-vehicle accidents, both in the northbound and southbound lanes. There were probably a good 8-9 vehicles in the northbound lane; I was going south and a school bus caused the one in the southbound lane; that one was four vehicles. It was so slippery that the slightest touch on brakes made you slide all over the place. I couldn't get into my road because of the school bus accident, so I went further south, up a steep hill (Hannah was in 4-wheel drive) and then made my turn to get to my road. As I crested the hill, some guy was coming the other way.....in the middle of the road. He swerved back over and lost it, ended up in a ditch. I didn't stop because had I stopped, I would have never gotten started again and I would have been caught there, too. Nor did the guy behind me. 

The whole trip was ugly. I got home and took The Beast out. Rick left 45 minutes before I did and he got home ten minutes after I did. That's how bad it was. A 20-minute drive for him took him almost an hour.

South of Harrisburg, PA, 40 cars and 11 trucks piled-up. That happened at 1:30 this afternoon and they're still cleaning up. 

I'm thankful to be home safely. And for Rick to make it home safely, too. It was ugly this afternoon. It caught everybody unawares; nobody knew it was coming. 

Just saw it on the news. Nasty

Glad you're safe Pam. Snow tomorrow in Connecticut. Ugh.

Thanks. It was downright nasty yesterday. And it looks like this morning won't be much better. It's already snowing like crazy here and the roads are not good again. At least this time, it was expected. I'm sure the schools will cancel today. Rick brought me into work and he drove Hannah. I said to him that I thought Hannah was worth her weight in gold when it snows and he said, "You're welcome." When we started car-hunting, the only thing he cared about was AWD/4WD. Other than that, he didn't care what we bought. I was the one who liked the Tucson, so we bought her. 

I don't use 4WD often, but boy, I'm glad we have it.

Glad you both got home safely. It's supposed to start here around lunch time. I need to run out and do a few errands this morning. I had Aaron take the CR-V to work today and I have his civic.

Thanks. Be careful when you're out and about. It's been snowing here fairly steadily since around 6:15 or so, but not really laying much.
