Snow, Snow, Snow! Part Two
Why do they even make rear wheel drive cars any more? My rental is a Mustang. I had asked for a compact car, which would have been front wheel drive, but all they had was this POS Mustang and they tried to sell me an upgrade because of the impending weather. I just tried to leave the hotel to go grab some fast food, since all I have in the hotel room is a bag of pretzels. I first approached the parking lot to find that it was in the middle of being plowed. I went upstairs to buy the diet coke I am drinking now, and then went back down to find the lot as cleared as it was going to be. The Mustang had snow all over the driver's side, so I cleared it off and got in. I made it to the road and managed to drive past four fast food restaurants and three restaurants, all closed. Then I tried to turn around and got stuck in a parking lot. A very nice gentleman came by in a big truck and pushed my up the very slight incline and I was on the road again. My trip back to the hotel was uneventful. So, here I sit drinking diet coke and eating rolled gold pretzels for lunch.
And here are some nice winter driving tips from our friends, Click and Clack.

Mike, I'm so sorry you had that experience with getting stuck, and not even getting any food. I'm surprised the fast food places were closed. The pictures you took from the window of the hotel didn't look like it was bad enough to close fast food restaurants. It must have been pretty bad. I sure hope you have good tires to you aren't slipping and sliding. 
This is Sunday, and you still have almost five days to be there. Hope the weather will clear by then and you won't have any trouble getting home.
I love you 
Mom
