It's Thanksgiving Day!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

It took me 4.5 hours to drive from Peoria, Illinois last night. We had our first snowfall of the season; apparently when the first snowfall is big, it takes the plows by surprise. The reason for the extra time was mostly on a lesser used route in Peoria, which I should have avoided. Anyway, cars were actually stranded in the road, and you had to drive extra carefully to avoid the cars on the road. The police cars were trying to sit in front of the stranded cars and flash their lights, but there weren't enough police cars for all the stranded cars.

Go ahead, ask me why I drove in this weather.... I don't have a good answer. But I was careful.
