Wow, what a crazy day. Woke up to snow in Nevada, and they were telling all the trucks to make sure they bring their chains to get up the mountain. Pretty scary. So we planned on trying to get to Fernley (about 2 hours away) and see what was happening after that. We didn't leave till 11ish tho hoping it would warm up a little. Instead we drove through rain and more rain untill about 30 miles before Fernley when it started to clear. Giving us the motivation to move further up the mountain and try to pass Reno. With only a few flakes in the air we sail through Reno and up further into the Rocky Mountains. Very beautiful scenery for a short while. I'm sure it was very cold for dad tho. At the summit, My head started exploding with a pressure headache due to the altitude. At the same time a nice scary blizzard sets in.... just after the sign saying we will be going downhill for the next 40 miles. So... we've got downhill slope at 70 mph in slush and snow. On come the 4 way flashers and we try to slow down as dad tries to see around his windshield to know what is coming ahead. Words cannot describe!

Anyways we are all safe and sound in California tonight. It's fairly warm here (particularly in comparison) and the room is pretty nice. Should get to see Sean tomorrow for lunch which is pretty exciting!
