Our trip to Utah on Monday night was uneventful until we got to Twin Falls, ID. The roads were clear and dry, the traffic light, and Jereth was calm and rested quietly.
Once we got past Twin Falls the roads got progressively worse. The sun was down, the roads were snowy with blowing snow across the road in gusts. Going over the pass between Idaho and Utah was scary - I was glad Roy is such an experienced driver.
At one point we got behind a snowplow and chose to stay there because we couldn't see the road due to blowing snow. The plow was traveling about 15 miles per hour, and slowed down to almost stopped a couple of times because of cars stopped on the side of the road. Several cars and even a big rig had gone off the road.
Past Snowville the roads cleared again and were just wet and blowy until we got to Bountiful. Then they became snowpacked and slick and the traffic became more dense, so we had to worry about what other drivers were doing. We were grateful to make it to Mom and Max's safely about 1:00am on Tuesday.
