When we left we decided to go through Salt Lake instead of through Provo Canyon since according to the internet snow crews were still clearing icy roads and that road is curvy enough under the best of circumstances. All went well until we reached the Wyoming state line where we immediately hit slick icy roads. Thank goodness there wasn't alot of traffic so many times I drove in the middle of the lanes where some of the road might actually show. It was that type of road conditions for the majority of the way while on the interstate.
Then we hit the two lane road that cuts off to Casper!!! It started out slick and icy and then turned into snow and ice with bits of road showing. About 50 miles from home it became snow and ice with blowing snow and you couldn't see the road underneath. Now that was really fun :( as evidenced by the picture).
I thought this was bad enough, but then it turned...
even worse!
Then when we got to Casper we found out it had snowed the heaviest since our move here and some roads had not been plowed. We had to go pick up the furry kids at their weekend hotel and that was located about 6 miles from out of town out in the country. We went slipping and sliding, but gracefully gliding at times and eventually made it home wherein I stepped into snow that covered my tennis shoes. At least the wind wasn't blowing - that comes again tomorrow!
