Snow Day

It turned out to be the heaviest snow recorded in NYC. I originally thought about getting a bunch of people to Valley Forge on Saturday, so that we could have a pretty good snow fight on Sunday; unfortunately, some people were too scared to travel in snow, some were so deep in sleep that could not be waken up by the mere cell phone ringtone, yet some others were too sick to even be considered an active fighting force.

As the war plan was called off, we headed to New Port, figured maybe this time we could have a healthier weekend as it seems every one had realized endless card games were not so fun at all; the hope was shattered ruthlessly by reality in the end.

The highlight was still the snow. The drive to the hotel on Saturday night was already spicy enough; the drive to Pangza's home the next morning was even more fun. Although my car was almost completely submerged under the snow, I was still able to drive it around. The car pushed through the snow, just like a boat cutting over the open water. Needless to say there were quite some cars stuck in the knee deep snow along the way, frustrated, trying to roar through the hopeless white.

The drive to home was ok. Turnpike was already clean enough for us to cruise at normal speed; Local roads were in pretty bad shape though, even RT-27 was covered with a hard shell of ice. Driving on the curvy tracks were like slow-motion rally racing, you get all kinds of turns, skids, swings, bumps; yet you don't have to pay for the race track. Next time I should just find a parking lot and try out some stunts. After all this is a risk-free opportunity to try out those things, plus it's much less demanding on the car than the real tracks.
