Tonight was the launch of the newest group fitness releases at the gym. This coincided with our first snowstorm of the year. Being the wuss that I am, I convinced Dan to pick me up and drive me to the gym.
Notice that the car is sideways here. That’s because we gracefully slid off the road into a snow bank/ditch. Seriously! We have had a total of 4″ of accumulation, but thanks to the 30mph winds, all the snow built up on the shoulder of the road.
As the sun went down, it looked like this:
While we waited for the tow-truck, Dan and I alternated getting out of the car to assess the situation. Unfortunately, Dan was ready to teach in his gym shorts and a hoodie–not exactly cold weather gear. I wore my big snowboots, which came in handy when I literally fell into a snow drift up to my knees.
Eventually, we got pulled out of the ditch (along with the five or six other cars) and made it to the gym, only about 20 minutes late. I was able to jump in and even teach my three tracks!
Dedication!
Big thanks and apologies to Dan for driving me! If I have to get stuck in a snowdrift, I’m glad it’s with you!

I am happy you are both okay – and the car too (?)!
Don’t they say to stay in the car when something like that happens? Or am I thinking when there is an accident on the highway and you are not involved with it, they say to stay in the car?
Glad you are okay! Thanks to Dan for being a good friend.
Oh no! Not a fun adventure. Glad you guys made it to the gym safely!!
