Well i had to work the 5-10:30 shift last night,it was expected we'd get a snow storm around 9. It started around 8ish, and by 9 we had atleast 2-3inches, so they let all the employees go to get a early start. Well my rear tires are brand new almost, and my fronts i was just about to replace because they are pretty worn down and awful in the snow.
So i get out of the parking lot, its snowing like crazy, i get on the main road (4 lane highway) and my wheels start spinning just going 20mph, so i pull off the road and think about waiting until it dies down and plows come.
So i wait for about 45minutes, seeing the snow just pick up in pace, so i decide to give it another try. I get about a mile down the road, and up comes a huge hill, i get about half way up, lose momentum, and get stuck, so i cut the wheel, and end up in a vacent small parking lot. There was no way i'd make it home with with my tires and how much snow was on the ground, so i walked to the gas station, tried to call taxi's, none of them picked up their phones. My next idea was to take a bus, but they were shut down.
So... I'm about 30 minutes away from home, and i dont know anyone out here so i couldn't call anyone, then one of my friends over the phone suggested i call the cops and explain im stranded with no where to go. So i call the cops, 3 hours after getting stuck, and they said they couldn't help me
So basicly i was hung out at the little gas station from 10-3:30am when the snow finally stopped and i dug my way out of the lot and drove home 20mph and got home around 4am.
Quite the evening *invest in snow tires*
Some lady gave me 20 bucks at the gas station to get a cab, I felt really bad about that, told her i didn't need it, but she gave it anyways
cliff notes;
got stranded 30minutes away from apartment in vacent parking lot, taxis,buses were both closed down. Spent 5 hours in a gas station.
