Forecast = Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Rain

Right....We awoke on Day Two and found frosty conditions with a temperature of 32 degrees.  Once we hit the road the weather radio forecast seemed almost perfect.  A little drizzle and mostly cloudy, then things started to change.  The winds picked up, drizzle changed to rain, rain changed to sleet, sleet to heavy hail and then snow.  Blowing snow.  For the first time since we've owned the trailer, we had to put the F250 in 4X4 High to tow safely.  Fortunately Chuck has experience driving in snowy conditions but other drivers were not as savy or just chose to disregard the conditions.  We passed numerous accidents and lost 2 hours travel time but arrived safely at Santa Rosa Lake (Santa Rosa, NM) just after sunset.  We logged 479.8 miles but drove just under 11 hours.  Today is sunny and beautiful and we'll be staying somewhere in Oklahoma tonight.
