I hope you all made it home safely. The conditions were extremely bad. What usually is a 12 minute drive to get home took Dr, Pratt and I 1 hour. There were times we couldn't see at all. It was a complete white out. I am glad to report that we did finally get home safe and sound. Share any of your harrowing experiences of trying to get home from campus.
