Stingy on the Snow

Although we didn't have a White Christmas where we were in Ohio... when we drove up to Michigan to see Josh and Liana just before Christmas... we found the snow that was used for a White Christmas... and it was all up there in Michigan... here we were at a rest stop on our way up... as you can see... snow and all this "lovely" cold air is quite a novelty to us... by the way... we were toying with the idea of spending the night in Michigan and driving back the next day... but it was suppose to snow the same night we drove up... 8 to 10 inches ... so instead of staying we decided to drive as far south as we could to "out run" the impending snowstorm. After we were on the road for 30 minutes it started... and within 15 minutes the roads were had a nice coating on them... the good thing is it was so cold the snow was frozen powered instead of slushy mush... so once we were on the interstate... there were lanes where the snow had been "whisked" off the road by the speed of the cars... and again by God's grace we drove far enough south to outrun the snowstorm before taking a real rest and heading the rest of the way home in Ohio... oh yeah, it actually snowed 10 to 12 inches in the storm so... it was the right decision to try to outrun the storm.
