Snow conquers I-70
In all my days of driving home with a 4-wheel drive beast, I’ve never seen such horrific driving conditions than I did last night, driving a 2004 mustang with rear-wheel drive.
I-70 was a monster all the way to New Market. A 3-lane highway that is normally a speed limit of 65, to which I normally drive 80mph, was reduced two a skating rink of 20mph 2-lane highway of chaos. You could not see the lanes, you could not see the edge of the highway. Fortunately they have those ridges on the side that make that god awful “Oh shit I’m going to die” noise once you’ve reached them, so I was able to stay on the highway for the most part. I was amused to see confident soccor-mom SUV’s slipping and sliding all over the place (Is the extra gas and foreign oil support worth it now?!)
So my 30 minute ride home was drawn out to about an hour and fifteen minutes. Tomorrow is ’supposed’ to be worse, so I expect I’ll be driving a four-wheel drive vehicle instead.
