Driving into the Arctic

So we have experienced all the seasons rolled into one week so far. Left Boston where it felt like Spring. Headed into Virginia beach and Savannah where I lived in a mini skirt for two days. Louisiana felt like fall, light jacket required, well the second night. Texas started feeling cold and today we drove through freezing fog! Twice!

The drive started super well. I-40 W for 300 miles going 90 on cruise control the whole way.

........then we got to 285N.  This is a one lane highway marked w a 75mph speed limit with big trucks and passing lanes. Ugh I hate passing big ole trucks. But whatever ya gotta do whatcha gotta do!

At the end of this road the fog began.
This weird hazy snow covered roads where you can only see 15 feet ahead of you and now I'm out of wind shield wiper fluid! It takes us an hour just to stop to get some wiper fluid and get to the Starbucks that was just 4.2 miles away.

Just 3 more hours to go.

We make it to Sarah's right about 6pm. That sweetheart made us an amazing homemade meal of Mac and cheese with crispy onions on top, garlicky broccoli and pan seared chicken. We drink some beers and head to their local dive bar.
