Originally, our plan was to get up early Saturday morning before sunrise to start our 3 1/2 hour drive to Amanda's folks' place in PA. When Justin got home from work Friday, the big storm that had been talked about was already beginning to hit. We decided against waiting until morning, and got ourselves ready to head out.
By the time we left, 3-4" had already fallen in Richmond. It took us 90 minutes to get 20 miles north to Ashland. We figured it would ease up, but boy were we wrong. We felt like we were going fast when we hit 30 mph. Traffic was intense all the way to D.C. That was our half-way point, and we didn't hit the District until 5 hours into the trip. INSANE.
We hit the PA state line by about 3:30, celebrated by getting hot chocolate at a 24 hour McDonalds, and finally arrived at Grammy and Papa's at 5:10 a.m.
The snow has not stopped yet. And after reading this front page article from Yahoo's main webpage, we are simply grateful to have made it.
