I grew up in Rochester, NY. Too many to choose from. Driving back from 95


Sugar Bowl though has to be the one most relatable to VT fans.

Driving rain as we went through Alabama, slowing the RV down to 10 mph tops for about an hour.

Drop one person off in Bristol, drop another off in Maryland. Right after dropping that person off, the snow started, just lightly at first. But the defrost on the RV didn't work, so the windows began to fog AND slowly but surely, ice started to gather on the wiper blades. 30 minutes of driving and each blade was about 4 inches wide with the snow that was stuck to it. I got out, knocked off the snow, but it just built up again.

So we isolated the driver cabin by sealing it off with a sleeping bag from the sleeping area above the cab. We turned the heat and blower to maximum. All through PA and NY we drove like that, pretty slowly and HOT, but with a round area of window in front of the driver, maybe 9 inches around. Icy all the way.

We only slid when we got off of interstate 390 to drop someone off. Got home probably 3 AM, maybe later. Woke up at noon or so and, since we had to return the RV, I had to go out and shovel over 30 inches of snow before I could even get out to help with the RV return.
