Freak Weather

Anyone get caught up in the freak weather yesterday? I was visiting family in MD for a few hours and while we were there, about an inch of snow accumulated on the car. Driving home later that night was a trip too. While on I-270 when everyone is going 30 mph with snow/slush on the ground, some retard in an X5 is going 60-70mph weaving through fairly heavy traffic. It was intense just watching the guy change 2-3 lanes at a time and disappear in the cloud of snow he left behind. Thank goodness for 50+ degree weather soon.

It was pretty bad in some areas. I had the luxury of going 3/4 away around I-495 since I had to drop off the bro at College Park then head to VA. The worst part of I-495 was Landover and Upper Marlboro area. It was heavy traffic and icy at times. I would drive straight but slow drift or the back end would break loose even with snow tires. Good news was we made it home before the all-star game.
