Luvin_Life125 558 Posted November 10, 2014 Well I am scheduled for surgery at 5:30 am with a 4am arrival on Tuesday 11/11 and I live 3.5 hours from the hospital. So I am driving there today and getting a hotel room for the night. Now we are under a winter storm warning with snowfall starting around 6 am this morning and continuing through Tuesday afternoon. This storm also comes with high winds and we are told to expect blizzard like conditions and visibility under 1/4 mile at times. We are expecting 20+ inches at home and only 12-15 inches at the hospital where my surgery is being done. Wish me luck on my 3.5 hour drive that will probably take us over 7 hours if we are lucky to get there. Why does it have to snow tomorrow and Tuesday of all days? Grrrr at least I will be so worried about the weather I won't have time to get antsy about surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) winter storm warning @@Luvin_Life125 i am also curious where you live?? I realize you are having surgery bright and early Its pretty late to suggest this, buttttt is there any way you could leave for the trip hours before you need to this way it will be light out, and safer, easier to drive you would arrive to destination much earlier - better safe than sorry early check in??? if this late thought won't work -(maybe you are at work) take the drive slow and cafefully always watch out for the other guy drive safe good wishes kathy Edited November 10, 2014 by proudgrammy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvin_Life125 558 Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks everyone ! I am in northwestern Wisconsin about 3 hours northeast of Minneapolis. We made it to the hotel around 11am safe and sound. The hotel let us check in early and is only 5 minutes from the hospital. Hopefully the snow wraps up tonight or tomorrow morning and my hubby can make it back home safely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
