On the road again

Last night we experienced a nice snow storm in Iowa, and tonight it's blowing outside here in Michigan, as today we drove from Josh's family in Springville to Megan's in Zeeland, typically a six hour drive. Despite some bad weather predictions, we made it in not too much more than that. However, we did encounter a few interesting things along the way:

61 cars slid off into the ditch on the side of the road, 2 of them U-hauls and 55 of them within the first 1.5 hours
5 Semis in the ditch, 1 turned on its side (those are big lorries, British folk)
1 wrapped present sitting sadly in the snow on the side of the road
1 Iowa state vanity license plate reading: OBAMA08 (now that's dedication)

It's fun to drive on straight, open midwestern highways again...
