America day 11

We had the intention of driving to New York in the morning today but the Blizzard had been in full force from 3am, and nothing was coming in or out. According to the news there were heavy road closures and jack knifed trucks scattered everywhere. We had heard about the blizzard as early as yesterday morning and were willing to drive last night, but under the advise of Frank we decided to simply stay another night and wait it out. This was a decision we would later regret. We tried driving that evening but got stuck in snow, noticed skidding and got sworn off the roads from angry/concerned plow drivers. Despite this, adventuring out, seeing hundreds of plowers and salt trucks brilliantly work together to clear the roads was amazing.

Instead we stayed in, had a great homemade meal and played a few card games. When the weather started to settle, we ventured out and decided to go sledding down some gentle slopes in cardboard boxes we found nearby. Good times :)
