I can’t describe to you how it feels to be stuck in deep snow, waiting for the road to clear, and not knowing how long you’re still stranded in the cold, with your fuel level getting lower by the minute because the heat’s cracked up, and if it wasn’t, you’d freeze.
Well, for the first three hours it was boring, and then you start getting worried.
What if they don’t clear the road soon?
What if we get stuck here during the night?
What if we run out of fuel?
What if…?
The worst of it was, I had to pee, and I was stuck in snow on a top of a mountain, with no bathroom, or at least a handy bush. Now that was horrible.
Finally, when we started moving (our speed was about 10 km/h), we saw that the delay was caused by about thirty trucks, big, huge trucks, with no winter equipment, which got stranded half-way up the hill, and couldn’t move. We passed a whole huge convoy of trucks which weren’t going anywhere for at least a day, until the road services clear the snow.
Guys, I gotta tell you, getting stuck in snow SUCKS.
But at least this year we had winter tires, while last year we had summer ones, and driving through snow was like ice-skating in a blizzard.
I’m still recovering.
