Wellll....

Weather has been weird. Started snowing at 7AM here. Then turned to straight rain and 38 around 11, then about 1PM it all hit the fan. We were sitting in the car and the wind whipped up, the snow started coming down pretty heavy. My husband's race and the collegiate race which followed were cancelled. Unfortunately I had gotten out of the car a few minutes early to see what was goign on in the pits (it's different than the local race series), and was clear across the course before I found out. Coming back was brutal. God bless the poor guys who had to finish their race in that. One guy apparently crashed at the start of the last lap, laid there and thought "I'm delirious". He dropped out and went to a tent to warm up.

The drive back to the hotel was exciting. But we're back here all warm and dry, and worst case scenario will be we're eating dinner out of a vending machine. Tomorrow temps are supposed to be 40 and partly cloudy, so hopefully the weather excitement tails off soon.
