I took Geoff and I 8 hours to drive back to vermont because of the terrible conditions. I have to say it went by fast because we enjoyed each others company so much..

I made it a few yards up on the bridge, but then got stuck in the front wheel drive rental without snow tires, I was able to back down.. but managed to slide backwards and end up sideways in the road, just about off the railroad tracks.. uh-oh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_0583.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By then it was 2AM..
