Central PA had a serious snow squall. Rick called me on his way home from work; he had his Tundra and couldn't get up the hill to our road. When I came home, at the traffic light off the highway to turn into our little village, there were multi-vehicle accidents, both in the northbound and southbound lanes. There were probably a good 8-9 vehicles in the northbound lane; I was going south and a school bus caused the one in the southbound lane; that one was four vehicles. It was so slippery that the slightest touch on brakes made you slide all over the place. I couldn't get into my road because of the school bus accident, so I went further south, up a steep hill (Hannah was in 4-wheel drive) and then made my turn to get to my road. As I crested the hill, some guy was coming the other way.....in the middle of the road. He swerved back over and lost it, ended up in a ditch. I didn't stop because had I stopped, I would have never gotten started again and I would have been caught there, too. Nor did the guy behind me.
The whole trip was ugly. I got home and took The Beast out. Rick left 45 minutes before I did and he got home ten minutes after I did. That's how bad it was. A 20-minute drive for him took him almost an hour.
South of Harrisburg, PA, 40 cars and 11 trucks piled-up. That happened at 1:30 this afternoon and they're still cleaning up.
I'm thankful to be home safely. And for Rick to make it home safely, too. It was ugly this afternoon. It caught everybody unawares; nobody knew it was coming.
