I've driven to Steinbach on numerous occasions and this is one time I won't soon forget. The winds were blowing fiercely and on the prairies where there's nothing to stop that wind it means low visibility.
You may be wondering why we went if the conditions weren't so good. Well, unless the road is closed or travel is incredibly dangerous, we drive. We leave early and drive slow. We never put ourselves in danger trying to make it to show, but we do try and make it if we can.
This is what the road looked like at the best of times.
Gord said it was like driving through a white sea. There was no indication where the earth ended and the sky began. There were times when I could only see about 10 feet in front of the van.
Here I am white knuckling it as I drive.
Thankfully the roads were not too icy (plus we have amazing winter tires on our vehicles!) and we made it to Steinbach safe and sound, not to mention early!
We had a great show and lucky for us the weather cleared up and we drove home under cold blue skies.
I would wager this won't be our last time driving through less than ideal conditions!
