Snow Monsters!

[nonionay]

Just got back from tbclone47's birthday party. Normally, this would entail a routine 2.5 hour drive, but tonight it meant going head to head with Nature for over four hours each way.
We had considered calling off the trip, due to a predicted blizzard. But word that it wouldn't be that bad, plus our own foolhardy sense of adventure (and faith in Keffy's driving skills) meant we went anyway. Going down and coming back came with their own different sets of problems. Going down meant black ice and fast-driving idiots. Going back meant several inches of snow on the interstate, getting lost in Everett, and for a few very brief moments, only being able to see the snow blowing over the hood of the car.

It was awesome. During the ground blizzard, I kept expecting some monster to dart across our path, only to vanish in the dense cloud of snow.

But seriously, Keffy rocks, and is the safest driver I've ever ridden with. Otherwise, I'm sure we all would have wet ourselves.

Glad you made it back! Thanks for making the long haul to Bonney Lake for my b-day party. I guess it was not good timing to tell you my Montana ground blizzard story just before you left, eh?

No, it was perfect! None of us really knew what you were talking about until we hit it, then we were like, "hey, thanks to Patrick, we know what this is!". And you did say you got home just fine. You didn't say, "and then I hit a ground blizzard and were were blown into an abyss. I alone survived to tell the tale." I think we kept saying "ground blizzard," just because we were so excited to know what it was called.
