Snow blizzard on the highway

I felt like writing about one time I went to New Hampshire and on the way home was the worst part of the storm. It was scary since we did 23 extreme out of control fishtails (back of car swerving on the highway) 19 car accidents on the side of the road, and the headlights with 4 inches of ice on them. I guess I felt like writing about this since were getting close to winter, but if anyone ever drove in a storm and wants to tell about,do. But anyway it was only flaking when we left, until about an hour into the drive and I wake up with the car swerving half sideways,it scared the poop out of me. But atleast I was busy listening to queen, since it was the only tape to hear on the way, but it was greatest hits and I remember listening to it 7 times in a row beating my brothers record of 5 times in a row when he went to west virginia.But anywho of course it strikes you you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the blizzard with about 6 hours left on the ride. Fortunatly we had a gatorade bottle, to make a long story short that did the job. We were visiting our aunt and uncle by the way and that's where we came from. At one point it got so bad that even the plows had swerved off the road, but not our 2 wheel drive volvo with no snow tires in the middle of a blizzard. Then on the way a tree blocked our way to get home, but we squeezed under it safely. Two hours later we made it home in 3 and a half feet of snow, but that day was a near death experience.
