    Unforgetable experience

    On Monday's night, back on the way home from school, I suddenly faced a big snow storm which i had never met before. The traffic was moving at 5 mph on the freeway where usually requires at least 60 mph. The road is very slippery, sometimes the car is out of control, slippering to the other side. I finally made to drive to the issaquah, however, i still got stuck in the traffic on an uphill way to my home. Why i lived in the house on the top of the hill. I had no choice but abandon my car in the road. Fortunately, there was a nice guy coming to help me drive the car to the parking lot so that i would not get a ticket from the policeman. When he first open my car door and asked me if i needed any help, i thought i saw an angle, hehe, no kidding, i was totally frustrated at that moment.
    After waiting in the parking lot for almost 3 hours, my husband's cousin finally managed to come to "rescue" me by his four wheel drive car and send me to my in-laws home because the road to my house was closed. When i got to my bed at the end , it was over midnight. I spent almost 5 hours outside instead of 20 minutes as usual. But i was lucky, because i knew later that some people spent 7 or 10 hours to make home , and just by walking rather than driving.
    right now, my car is still in the parking lot, and i gonna pick it up on saturday by taking a bus there. This strong snow storm has messed up the traffic of seattle. and i get an unforgetable experience from it.
