An e-mail my father sent me this morning. Kristi is my sister.

Please read this and re-think going out on the roads when the weather is bad.
Nothing is as important as your life.

"We all got up this morning to take Kristi and her friend down to Syracuse to link up with there vans that were to be heading down to New Orleans to work on rebuilding (Habitat for Humanity) for winter break. The weather all week was warm and they said we might get some lake effect snow and high winds. So they packed and went to bed early so we could leave extra early 430 am to be there for 630. A drive that normally takes 1 to 1 1/2. As we took off I was some what concerned about the high winds as we reached the top of the hill, I could barley see and knew I had to turn back. I turned around in a farmers drive and started back little did I know it got worse behind me. I have never been so scared in my life as I was this morning. My big worry was crossing the center line and having a head on collision with my wife, daughter and her friend in the car. Deb did a great job helping me keep the car to the right of the center line. At times all I could do because we could not see was to keep the right tire rubbing along the snow bank. One thing that I have learned if you cant find a place to get completely off the road is you have to keep moving. It got so bad that we called 911 for assistance, of course she asked me all the questions seat belts, emergency flashers and if the windows were clear. She was in the process of dispatching help when I asked GOD for help I was really desperate then and I told Deb that I no longer could see anything and I know that was the last thing I wanted to say. I kept the car moving along the snow bank and we started down a hill and it cleared up enough for me to get home. We made it home safe but I bet those girls will never question me or her parents again when we tell them the weather is to bad to drive."

Thank you higher power for protecting my family.
