I felt like I was being Fus Ro Dahed by an army of Dragonborn all
the way back to St. Louis. My visibility
at its best was seeing the silhouette of the 4th car in from of me; at its
worst, I couldn’t see beyond my windshield.
It was like I was sailing in a phantom sea with how the snow washed over
and slammed into my poor Cadillac. The
snow chased the vehicles in front of me like the great white serpents
illustrated on the maps of old and the constant cascade of the white substance
resulted in a fitting fog-like setting for the voyage. This adventure definitely got the adrenaline
pumping as I passed a number of wrecks and was even sandwiched between two
crashes for what must have been 2 hours, but I managed to navigate my way back
in one piece and am now preparing for what new adventures are about to come my
way.
From what I have
gathered, due to the extreme cold (as low as -30 including the wind chill) and
all of the snow, most of our teams are not being dispatched for a couple of
days. I know I am on Dalton’s team and
that we will be heading to Current River, but that’s the extent of my knowledge. Oh, and we most likely will be leaving
Thursday or Friday and return the following Thursday or Friday. In the mean time we will be helping out in
the Warming Shelter and around the city as needed. I will keep you all posted! For now I am going to head to bed, but before
I do, a big shout out to my fellow Spartans that were recently over in Pasadena
where we made our first Rose Bowl appearance in over 2 decades AND WON!! Huge accomplishment guys! Depending on how the rest of the Bowl games
play out we may end up as the number 2 team in the nation—an unfathomable feat
for a team that was unranked at the season’s start. Ok, good night all. Stay warm and be safe!
Both pictures were taken from the Michigan State Spartans Facebook page. The first shot is the crucial play that won the game for the Spartans.
