Well, I need that box to ship those gifts to Colorado! My sis refuses to come down to the valley for Christmas. Instead she wants me to deal with nasty weather and drive up there. Nope, have done that in years past and some years it was white knuckle driving through snow and icy roads. The last year I went north, I got caught in a big storm that hit Flagstaff as I was heading south (south side of Flag is the absolute worst on I-17). Everyone was driving 25 mph in the right lane, and I was impatient to get the heck out of Dodge, so I followed some larger trucks (I have a truck too) and got in the left lane and bulldozed my way through to lower elevations. And after I got through the worst of it, the Interstate was closed behind me. whew. After that I said NEVER AGAIN. Weather is too iffy to go north that time of the year. I have chains for the truck, but trying to put them on is another issue. Yep, I'll stay home again this year, and enjoy the balmy weather in the valley!
