+ we left on friday morning in time, i thought, to beat the weather. we ALMOST made it, too! but about 25 minutes before the hotel, it started snowing pretty heavily and the roads were pretty trecherous — to the point i could feel the car sort of slippy and slidy. that was all sorts of OH FUCK to my california sensibilities. then shit got all sorts of crazy when an ambulance started merging onto the freeway behind me....then turned on their lights and sirens. 

the car in front of me panicked like i did and we sort of just kept going slow and not wanting to pull over to the side or to the lane to the left because, well, it was fucking snowing and the roads were all batshit crazy. while it felt like a long, long time, both the car in front and i moved over without spinning in circles or.....whatever cars do on bad roads.
