Driving in a snowstorm

Yesterday I was in Alpine at Mom and Dad's house. I had to come back down to Provo to work later in the day. I left at the beginning of a snowstorm because I thought that if I left later that it would get worse and I wouldn't be able to make it to work in Orem. So I left and not too far from the house, I was putting on my brakes but was not stopping because of the slippery roads. It was a little scary, but thankfully I did not hit the car in front of me, which I thought I was going to do. I thought about turning around and going home, but I decided to tread through it and drive in the storm.

I thought it was crazy how many people were on the roads. Most everyone was driving 20-30 miles per hour the whole way on State Street. At times I could not see the stoplight which I knew was not very far ahead of me. (Don't worry Mom and Dad, I was driving really slow). And I usually could not see the lines on the road, so I just followed the car ahead of me. And half of the time it took me to get to Provo, I was in Provo, but I had to wait through a billion lights or so. The hill down State Street that goes into Provo was the slowest part. I guess because of the hill and the slow amount of time it took people to get going that only a few cars would be able to go with each light. It took about an hour and a half to get from Alpine to Provo. As you all know a drive from Alpine to Provo on a good day should only take about 30 minutes. So it was a fun trip and thankfully I was kept safe and arrived home safely at my apartment glad to be off the crazy roads.

I did not take this picture, but this is pretty much what it looked like. It's no fun driving in a snowstorm.
