By the time I left work at 3:52 PM the roads were already slippery. The speed limit on 65N was more like 35 mph instead of 70 mph. What normally is a 20 minute drive from Cool Springs to Green Hills took 2 hours, yep that's right...I was fine until I got to Hillsboro Pike. The slight incline after St. Paul's caused a major backup. Folks were literally getting out of their cars and walking five miles home. Luckily I made it home with no problems. Justin on the other hand...
Left work at 5:30 PM and got home around 8:00 PM. He was about 10 feet from turning in our condo complex when he got stuck. The 4 Runner is not 4-wheel drive. I couldn't help but laugh when me and three of our neighbors were pushing and pushing, snow and ice being slung upon us. They were all like, "This thing isn't four wheel drive?" Justin laughed too - he was like, "I felt like such a tool having to have my 4-Runner pushed!" We got him pushed off and parked safely. Next we helped the Mazda Miata get over the hump and into the complex as well. It was really cool to see everyone helping. There were so many cars parked b/c they were stuck!
We were thankful to be home, safe, eating yummy spaghetti and warming up. I had to share this picture of our shoes piled up by the back door.
Tomorrow morning will be interesting when everyone comes back for their cars.
Stay warm and safe!
