Day 4 - Philly 2008

We made it to New Hamptom on Monday. The drive that usually takes 2.5 hours took us 6 hours. Most of the way was sheer ice on the roads so we went about 15 miles an hour. Iowa has this law called "No Tow" which when affect if your car ends up in a ditch you cant have it towed until the No Tow is no longer in affect. Basicly when the roads are 100% clear. So driving down I35 which is the main road N to S the roads didnt seem too bad. However in one area between the middle and the two sides of the road there were at least 20 cars scattered thru the snow. Joes cousin said most of the cars in the ditch happen in the first hour of the storm before everyone decides to slow down. When we arrived at the farm it was 7 degrees, Quinn being the kid he is decided to play out side. The farm had huge piles of snow and other snow drifts in the yard so it was an exciting challenge for him to try to make it to the top. The cold didnt seem to bother him at all, he is loving it.
