OMG!
We had a wonderful day at the Park. We did whatever He wanted to do. This meant TSI and Redwood Creek CT. We did some late afternnon shopping and ended up heading back to the car to drop off packages and get our jackets. That is when the rain started. No biggy, we were both about done in. We went back to watch the tree being lit and headed towards home.
It was 7 by the time we hit Castaic. It had started to rain and the temp was dropping. I knew we were in trouble when I saw the road sign cautioning of heavy snow over summit. Then I glanced at my car's thermometer (which reads 3 degs warmer than it actually is) and it said 37 and ice. The flurries stared shortly after that.
I have not been that scared and tense in a long time. By the time we got to Gorman it was really think snow, with high winds, so it seemed like it was snowing sideways, straight into my windshield.
I am just very thankful that I grew out of the stupid driving stage. I slowed way down, put on my hazards (I had never used them so it took me a bit to remember where they were) and white knuckled the steering wheel.
We are home, safe and sound. If my adreneline ever slows down I am going to crash big time.
