So what had happened wuz....

When we last left you early this morning around 3am, we were cruising through Rcansaw near a town called Toad Suck (no joke), the Cuz was still on his marathon driving spree, I was keeping him company and the Bro was still asleep in the floorboard. At some point shortly thereafter I became the driver, the Cuz took the floor and the Bro took the shotgun seat. That's when the snow started...

By the time we hit the Ozarks the snow was falling pretty good and slight accumulation was beginning to build on the road. You could see the light powder on the road, but it appeared to be the swirly/dry kind of snow. The first time I felt the tires slide I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, the 2nd time I felt the tires slide I thought it was the wind, but when I passed the car overturned on its roof in the median I realized the roads were slick. For the next 75 miles or so we cruised at 35 mph. If you've never driven very slowly, in the snow, pretty darn tired, with two co-pilots in and out of consciousness you haven't experienced a feeling that can only be described as frustxhaustion. As we approached the Oklahoma border around 6am, I had made my mind up that we were going to stop and just sit at the Oklahoma Welcome Center right across the border for a slight rest and regrouping period. For some reason, Oklahoma thinks a proper Welcome Center can only be placed 20 miles after you get into the state. Those 20 miles felt like they took as long as the other 617 that we had already driven.

We pulled into the parking lot, took one of the 120 empty parking places, and crashed for 2 hours. We've been on the road for about an hour now...

The Bro took some video of the snow falling during the drive, but we have to edit out the sound before we post it. The comedian on the radio decided to say something not appropriate for this particular blog during the 10 seconds he was videoing...

The boys in the front are quietly taking in the scenery that Oklahoma has to offer. Little do they know that if they don't stop for coffee in the next 15 minutes they are going to have a whiny toddler to deal with here in the back
