drove from phoenix to nyc last february. I was amazed at how facked I got weather wise in a lot of the southern states. Blizzard in northern zona, new mexico, texas, oklahoma, etc. Stuff of nightmares. Whiteout blizzard in texas could barely make it to hotel in amarillo texas. Had a planes trains and automobiles 5 donutes on the highway type moment I was lucky I didn't die in. Besides those negatives it was a good experience. if it was a different time of year i would've taken more time and drove route 66 and made more stops. Lots of cool man vs food spots to take a break and get some grub at along the way
