Description:

The snowdrifts were as high as our trucks. We were boxed in on both sides. There was nothing but blackness beyond the small arc of our lights. The wind harassed us every foot of the way. I bludgeoned and knifed my way through walls of white piled high in front of my bumper. Sometimes I'd slam into a mound so hard that the snow would explode high into the air. The road was deeply rutted and we swung hard back and forth with each jarring drop. The cab creaked and torqued even as the engine strained and roared. As we slowly rumbled and sledgehammered along, I radioed Paul, "Whatever you do, don't stop. Just keep coming no matter what. If you stop, you'll never get going again." Book jacket.
