I spent the morning getting schooled by Rob at Dominion (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/36218) and waiting for the ice to melt sufficiently for me to open my car door. It was a good thing I had to wait as I think the roads were pretty bad this morning. I can't recall how many accidents I passed on my way out of town but the most spectacular was a semi-trailer that had overturned and scattered boxes of something across several hundred meters of the highway.
As usual with driving in bad conditions, half the drivers slow to a crawl and the other half speed up. Judging by the number of wrecks, I think those who slowed down were in the right. Anyway, I got through some pretty hairy sections and have ended up in Amarillo, near the New Mexico border. As far as I can see, it has nothing to recommend it other than the fact that I was driving through it as the sun was going down.
The plan is to head to Taos tomorrow, through the mountains if the roads are open and then, since I'm ahead of schedule, spend a few days skiing there. If the snow is bad, I'll head up to Telluride in Colorado instead.
