SNOW....

Over the weekend it snowed about 20 inches in Salem, VA; which is crazy because we typically don't get snow here. On Friday at about 2:30 it started snowing, and didn't stop until about 1 on Saturday. As Virginia typically doesn't get snow, it made things quite interesting. People just are crazy here and cannot drive in any sort of weather conditions!! Andy and I went out on Sunday afternoon to find countless cars just parked in the middle of streets, neigborhoods, etc. Apparently, the motto is to just bail out wherever you are around here because no one pulled off to the side of the road!! It took V-Dot about 2 days to get some rough plowing done, but its still a mess. Obviously, they are not very well prepared here as the state hasn't seen this much snow since the early 90's. Luckily, the highways are clear, so we should be able to make it to Illinois this week. We may have to alter our plans a bit on account of the still bad roads in West Virginia, but hopefully, the majority of our drive should be smooth sailing.
