Friday night we got to Wythville Virginia at 5, and was at a stand still on I 77 until 8:30 when we gave up and got a hotel at the last one still with rooms in town. Couldn't even make it up the hill to the parking lot. 77 ended up being closed, and people had to sleep in their cars on the highway, while 20 degrees out. Supposedly 77 was to be closed all day Saturday but we saw people driving so we made a go at it. It was slow going, but we made it to NE Ohio in 11 hours. There were deserted cars everywhere along the highway, and tons of wrecks. At one point in WV there was a 15 mile stretch of parked cars and semis on I 77 South. The national guard were on an off ramp waiting to go help when we passed by. They had to be parked there for a loooong time. So all in all a terrible trip home with an 8 hour drive taking two days. We were in the car for a total of 18 hours.
Pretty big storm, why did you drive in it? I would have waited that one out, 77 sucks on a clear day. Anyways good you made if safely.

Well I left work early at 2 on Friday and thought I was going to miss it. Obviously that did not work out. Also, my cousin flew in from Nebraska and was leaving Monday so I wanted to see her. I feel bad for those people going South and the ones who had to sleep in there cars. It was so frustrating.
