it started snowing around 9 in the morning by our house, so we ventured out with an expectation for a long, slow drive. we weren't in any rush to get to cape may since we weren't sure what the conditions were like there. we were forced off the main road at one point for what i assume was a bad accident, and weaved our way back to the highway where we saw several disabled vehicles that had slid off the road. the roads in general were slick, so i was content going 40 mph all the way down to the a.c. expressway. i think by the time we made it to that point, we had counted 7 stranded cars in all.
i remarked to my husband how pretty it all looked though, with the changing fall leaves and powdery white snow. i couldn't remember the last time (if ever) that i'd seen such a beautiful sight, and we enjoyed the scenery while navigating to our welcome destination.
the rest of the drive down was uneventful. when we crossed into new jersey, there was nothing but rain. the only precipitation in cape may was rain as well, so we decided on a quiet dinner and watched updates on the storm and movies at the hotel (we were finally able to watch one of the netflix movies we've had for 2 months, since i'm grateful for so we can unplug our queue!). it was a nice, cozy escape from what was going on back home.
