[Magdalen] Safely arrived (was Travel prayers)

[Marion Thompson]

Glad you made it safely.  These conditions are a great struggle for many 
people.

It was -27C (-16.6F) this morning, -21C (-5.8F) now, but warmer weather 
is round the corner with snow and even above seasonal temps until next 
weekend.

Shortly before the NC/VA line, we started seeing snow in the grass. It was probably about Emporia, VA before we saw it at any measurable depth, but the roads were fine on US 58 and the Interstates we were on in Hampton Roads. The city streets were a little scary, since I have had (until today) zero behind-the-wheel wintry road condition driving time.

It was only thanks to finding a vacated spot, and the assistance of a shoveling neighbor (who had to help push us from being stuck two or three times while we pulled into that spot, as well as help shoveling some of the snow ahead of us to attempt to prevent us from getting stuck again.

Hopefully by Monday afternoon, enough will have melted to make things passable so we can leave the apartment complex. (Especially because I think it's supposed to stay in the 40s overnight, so we shouldn't have to deal with refreezing.)
