My Brief Stint In Hell

You all should be very, very, proud of yours truly. Remember how I don't drive when there's even a hint of snow? Ya, well, mother nature got me and got me good. According to the New England weather men it was due to snow Tuesday afternoon- at 3pm. My ass was to be hot tailing it out of town by Noon. I held up my end of the deal.

Wanna know when it started snowing? 1:30. Just as I hit bumper to bumper, stop and go traffic in New York City.

I fucking hate your guts NYC.

And once I exited NYC for the great state of New Jersey.... oh, ya, snow starts sticking to the roads.

Thanks NJ, now you too can burn in hell with NYC.

So to ease my tensed white knuckled grip on the steering wheel, I started documenting my trip in pictures.

In a totally safe manner of course.

See the white stuff in the road ways? That's call God Hates Me.

But then? I thought it was just a very cruel joke He was playing on me when two hours into NJ it started raining- and rain, well, rain I can do.

Off to the Mason Dixon Line!

Oh, but then, yes, after I get all excited about the rain, God plays another mean joke on me and starts producing ice. All around me, all I can see is ice. Oh, and spin outs from the dumb yuppies who drove to fast.

Idiots. What the hell were they doing on the road in an ice storm anyhow? Didn't they know an inexperienced driver snapping pictures was on the road trying to move her family down south?

But we made it alive and in one piece. I signed the lease papers, unpacked our vehicles, and attempted to turn on our heat. However, here at the Mason Dixon Line, you can not turn on your heat in your husband's name even when you have in your posession a power of attorney to do your husband's bidding.

Kyra and I had one cold night, but thanks to a good friend, we were supplied with lots and lots of blankets to try and keep warm.

When we woke up in the morning we found this... a very slight dusting of snow that caused schools and business to be delayed for 2 hours. It was at that point I knew we were back in the south because New England would laugh at the sight delaying school for this.
