chocolatepotI managed to start 2016 by freaking out at driving in lake effect snow in Blue Mountain Lake, leaving my car at the Adirondack Museum, and having a state trooper drive me to one of the very few motels still open in the winter. I sat there for about three hours, watching other cars whizz or creep past, kicking myself every twenty minutes or so for being such a baby. Even after the plows finally started going by, they leave a slick slush behind them, so I couldn't face it.
Somebody in a car with California plates and summer tires did actually swerve around and come to rest next to the guardrail right in front of the museum. So it really wasn't good driving conditions.
The state trooper was very nice about it and the people that run the motel gave me a plate full of their dinner (and I forgot about being a vegetarian for the evening because it was a really excellent pork tenderloin with potatoes). So I mean all's well that ends well. I'm tucked up in bed with a slowly ebbing migraine and in the morning hopefully the roads will be clear and I can get out.
