When everything turns white!

As most people know Brazil is famous for its pleasant weather, we usually have temperatures between 12C (54F) and 30C (85F) all year round. As a result, my experience with snow and all the troubles that snow can bring is virtually none or almost that as I always travel to North America during the winter. However, this time was different.

Driving north from Indiana to Michigan during a ‘lovely’ spring day I got hit by a snow storm. Everything started beautifully with snowflakes touching the window, but after a couple of miles things went bad, and believe me when I say bad. The entire road got covered in about 12 inches of snow, the car started to slide and all of sudden I could not figure out what was road and what was the hard shoulder!

The moment a snowmobile passed over me made me realize something was wrong so I stopped in a Gas station and asked somebody if that was something I should not be doing. The answer was even worse. Two people told me I should not been driving that type of car in one of the worst snow storms they`ve even seen, however according to the weather channel things were not supposed to get any better for the next 2 days.

Long story short, after 6 hours (It was supposed to take 3) I finally arrived at the hotel safe and sound, and thankfully I could even record a short video of the adventure, not sure if is the scene or maybe the song from The Who rocking on the background but it looked very nice.
