A huge sheet of ice formed on the front of my car as I drove home for the holiday. The road was mostly ice, and people in RWD and FWD automobiles thought it’d be a good idea to stop on a hill. They inevitably got stuck. I pushed a BMW 5 series that was blocking my way then passed him moments later as he crept up the hill. <3 AWD.

There were a bunch of slide-offs, and I saw a couple of close call crash-ups. There was also a semi sliding backwards down the road. How would that be for scary?

Overall it was an adventurous trek home.

When I finally made it home, I bundled up in preparation for a quick late night hike (if you can even call it that). When I got there, I was greeted by some kids sledding down the side of the (daunting) mountain. This pic is a little blurry because it’s hard to focus on something you can’t really see.

When I made it higher, the view was pretty rad since everyone had their Christmas lights on in hopes that Santa wouldn’t skip their house (the picture doesn’t do it justice). I took more shots of the rest of the valley, but after the first one, the wind decided he wanted to jiggle my camera and make all the pictures blurrier than they already were.

Since the wind loves making things really cold, I ventured back to my car, bid farewell to the sledders, and drove back home shoes filled with snow.
