The red line you see here on this map screenshot (provided by Mapquest) is the route I take when I drive to Meaghan's house. I am the start, and she is the finish. Estimated distance is 104 miles, and it takes approximately 2 hours to get there, depending on traffic conditions. A long drive, but well worth it.

As most should know (well the residents of the northeast), we had a large snowstorm. It was a bad storm too, with a mix of snow, slush, rain, and sleet. So the roads were so bad that the plows couldn't do anything. Storm started when I was at work last Friday. Was still going when I was done with work. Every Friday I leave to go see Meaghan.

Yes I drove in this storm. From start to finish, I driving at the speed of 30 on the highway (because they weren't even clear). I couldn't see anything, and it was just snowing and snowing. The Pike wasn't too bad, and neither was the rush. However, Rte 128 (which is circled in blue) was not even plowed. It was blanketed in snow, and you couldn't even see where the lanes were. I drove through all this just to see Meaghan.
