Yesterday, I had planned to leave New York at 6PM, but after showing the radar map at weather.com to my boss, he gladly allowed me to leave early. I hoped to race a massive storm front to my home town, it from the West, me from the East. While the gray and white pixels on the screen moved out of West Virginia and began to blanket the Pittsburgh region, I hurtled across North Jersey running a rented Ford Focus, all four tiny cylinders whining with the effort. The weather held until about seventy-miles from home. Horizontal snow and tractor trailers created a Star Wars-esque videogame experience that had no reset. Two and half upright tense knuckled hours later brought me to then end of the road where the Ford was able to claw through the half foot of snow into the driveway. Happy to be out of the car and out of New York, inside the warm home, I took this shot of the still raging blizzard.
