Bad bad weather

Worse weather I've ever seen in my life and I was driving through it tonight. I've seen snow storm... ice/wintry mix... but man.. this was just amazing. 50 mph wind... blowing snow. On the highway, visibility was almost zero. You know what though... I am glad I made the trip tonight coz on the way back I picked up someone who was stranded on the interstate. He was walking on the shoulder and waving and shouting "help" ... I stopped and he hopped in. Man, if he stayed out there 15 more mins... he could have gotten frost-bite and seriously hurt.

I think this is called blizzard; very strong wind and heavy snow. I had experienced a few blizzards when I was studying in Upstate New York.

Yeah, glad that you made it home and also helped out another person. I was surprised that he left his car and walked. Usually you should stay in the car until it's over.

yeah blizzard it was. the guy wasn't too smart to be walking in the blowing snow. he should have called the police and stayed in his vehicle. But then I can't blame him trying to get the hack out of there. It was like the end of the world.

Yea.. It's pretty bad in Toronto too! Wow. I am glad you saw that guy. I might have been so focused on the road that I would have just driven pass without noticing.

Btw, Happy Chinese New Year! Sun Tai Geen Hong!!!
