First Snow
It snowed Sunday and Monday.
On my way home from work last night, the weather changed very quickly and roads froze before the gritting trucks got out. On I-65, there was a 4 semi (lorry) pile up. In Lafayette there were 110 accidents. I was one of those.
I hit a sheet of ice and my car just slid to the side into the guard rail on the side of the road. Fortunately, that was all that happened, and I was able to drive away a few minutes later becuase a police car happened to be right behind me and did the report within 10 minutes.
This morning, they have actually closed 2 of the roads I drive on on my way to work. I’m not going to risk it!
UPDATE: The damage to the car will take about 8-10 days to repair. I plan to take it in while I am in Costa Rica.
Stay safe! We like you in one piece.
