Who knew that this arctic blast would in the end bring us the such fortune of getting some long-awaited snow days. Cold days as they are referred to now. It was just too bad that it was so cold out that it was near impossible to go out and play some pond hockey or rev up the snowmobiles. But in the end, it was a very nice four-day weekend which began for me driving up north mid-day on Friday.
I was off, heading down my extremely short driveway with a mental checklist of what i could have potentially forgotten running through my head. This was too much thinking on my part so i gave up on the checklist and my brother and i were finally out of the driveway. The first two hours of driving up I-75 could not have been any more boring. It was the first time i had sleep prying into my mind trying to veer me off the road every two minutes. To cure my newly acquired narcolepsy, i pulled over and bought some David's Sunflower Seeds so that i could keep myself busy as i drove through the plains of Michigan.
About a half hour later and half of a waterbottle full of sunflower seed shells, the drive got fairl intersting. Before i knew it, i was approaching a giant white squall going about 80 mph. The road suddenly turned white as did everything around us. These whiteouts as they are called accompanied us throughout the rest of the drive up turning a normally 4 hour drive into a agonizing near 5 hour drive.
