Yesterday I found out one of my cousins (actually my mom's cousin) is in a care facility recovering from two broken legs from a bad fall. I decide to drive up to see her today. The care facility is just north of Minneapolis so is usually a 40 minute drive from me. It took me about 2 hours! I didn't realize how bad the roads still are! Felt like I was off-roading with the Jeep! Couldn't go more than 35 mph on the freeways. Had the 4WD on the whole time. The freeways and pretty much all roads are snow/ice packed and feels just like driving on washboard dirt roads. On the way home, a lot of it started melting and was a big slushy mess! My black Jeep is completely white with salt, even on the roof! I had to use my ice/snow scraper to clean off all the ice and sludge that got packed up under the wheel wells. What a mess!
Did have a great visit with my cousin tho! She is a sweetheart and is so much like my mom. I guess she has been there for 6 weeks already and I just found out. Our family needs to communicate better!
I guess we are heading back into the deep freeze again! I am so tired of this winter!
