Driving back to Utah from Shasta via south lake

So today, I drove from south lake to Salt Lake. I have driven the Reno to  Salt Lake I80 route in the last five year ten time or more time, but todays travels were the most stress filled yet. Driving in a blizzard for 300 miles white knuckled as my little tacoma was pinned in the head wind. As I raced the storm across the grate basin,  with only one near miss 70 mph fish tailing lane crossing event with a big rig right behind me. Set me straight for the day. No coffee or Red Bulls needed after that. A good stiff drink when I finally arrived in the SLC helped take the edge off of my 10 hour day of driving.  I counted 16 car accidents, from big rigs to SUVs and small cars. I got pulled over in Utah for being a tired  driver, this time no ticket.  Today I really didn't have the time to dwell on to many things other then staying on the road. The powder I will be skiing in the coming days and those people I said goodbye to until the spring.  Well I'm off to un pack and try to get up early for some powder shredding.
