Snow Storm Hits Ohio Hard

And I'm Stuck in the Middle of Nowhere

My spring break began today, but it sure doesn't feel like it. On my way home from Purdue, I ran into a snowstorm, which was a big shocker. I had no idea the roads were going to be that bad, nor did I know Ohio was going to be in such bad shape. On the way my mom and my sister call me and tell me everything in Columbus is basically closed, and I'm think to myself, "GREAT." I'm going to spend my spring break in a blizzard while thousands of other college students are partying in Florida!

It only got worse though. A fellow classmate and I decide to get so get off an exit 22 in Brookville, Ohio, to get gas and are car starts to slide. We almost drove into oncoming traffic. By the time are car stopped sliding, we were stuck in a ditch between the lanes of the highway and the exit. I was in panic! We just stood there in the car. To make things worse my friend who I drove with had a phone interview! She is doing her interview while I'm on the phone with AAA. They were not much help, might I add.

Luckily another person saw us stuck in the ditch and decided to help us. Thank god for good people. So many people drove right passed us, but this guy didn't! I was feeling guilty though, because I'm a guy, I should be able to get this out myself! But I couldn't! We got back onto the freeway and decided to stay in town for the night. It would be too dangerous to drive home. I am stuck in Brookville, Ohio, a suburb of Dayton. I'm basically in the middle nowhere. I guess I'm going be chilling in Brookville tonight!

It's stopped snowing for now, but it's supposed to snow more tonight and tomorrow. I just hope I'm not stuck here for too much longer. Driving is not recommended! Most of central and southern Ohio is in snow emergencies. There have been several accidents, and before we slid on the freeway exit, we saw a semi truck that had crashed. Everything began to shut down as well.

Weather is all over the place in the Midwest. Earlier in the week, the temperature was in the high 50s. Now it's freezing. I don't even want to go outside. It isn't not worth getting in a car accident. I hope this doesn't last for too long though. Winter should be almost over!
