Throw caution and environmental principles to the winds (snows?): rent a Hummer.

Now, that made me laugh right out loud. 

Sheeeeeet, I had a important Dr’s appointment yesterday and I have to work today. Dang. I would have loved to go get him with you! And, and he could have brought his whole dang dorm room home with him in the suburban!
I had to drive home from work Thursday night in that storm. It took me over a hour to get home. It was awful and I was a wreck by the time I got here! I did bail out a hour and a half early. Which was great timing. I squeezed in between the 2-3 pm panic rush and the 5-6 commuter rush. It would have taken several hours to get here if I hadn’t! They would have been peeling me off the side of the road and wrapping me in a little white safety jacket and throwing me in a little round padded room if I had to say on that freeway any longer than that lol. L
Let me know when and what you decided to do about the lad.  I do have Monday off work. Well Sunday too but, I don’t think sunday will be a good driving day!
My Dr’s visit could be a good fourteen hour road trip conversation lol.

Kate, could he get an esaver and fly home (or does he have to bring a lot of stuff with him?).  If he can do that, it would probably cost about the same as renting something plus gas?  And if he could come in through Manchester, it would be even better for you???  I think you have until midnight tonight (according to the latest) to get him in or sometime after midnight tomorrow night (Sunday)??  Just a thought.

J, if you’re seriously in the mood for a road trip, I may enthusiastically take you up on the offer for Monday. I’m not going anywhere today. The forecast and the timing are too iffy. Snow is one thing, but ice and freezing rain aren’t anything I want to mess with. The lad has a lot of stuff to haul home and your car would be perfect for the job.

Cyn, I’d like it if he could take the train or a flight, but he’s miles and miles away from the nearest train station or airport. And with the amount of stuff that he has to clear out (or pay to put into storage), it’s more practical to just go fetch him.

Of course, having the world’s smallest car makes it an extra challenge. If it wasn’t for all his stuff, I probably would have taken off around 4 AM and would have had no trouble beating the storm. But the car rental place doesn’t open until 9AM on Saturday and I wouldn’t have been on the road until 10 or 11. That would be cutting it way too close.
