az4life Report post Posted December 24, 2007 Living in AZ for most of my life dust storms come and go but a pure "White out" is not something I ever had to deal with, and sort of dismissed them as greatly exaggerated when some folks would talk about the difficult conditions. After this past week, All I can say is I believe! I believe! I was driving home from work Friday which is a normal 80-90 minute drive, but this time in the end it was over 3 hours, and I did not even expect to make it several times. When I started out it was windy but no snow, then black ice formed, combined with blowing snow and then new snowfall began. For the last 50 miles it was touch and go with the fresh and horizontal blowing snow and drifting quickly formed There were at least 20 cars off the road along the way and I did run off once myself but was able to back out and get moving again. I was not able to see the end of the hood a lot of times and kept rolling down the window to look to the side for the road edge was something I care not to do again. It's not a coues hunt or any other type of hunting trip but take this as just a word to anyone else that may have a thought about going out in white out conditions. DON"T Merry Christmas!
