The team was traveling to Lubbock for Texas BEST and was in some of that bad weather. At one point, the car ahead of us hit an ice patch and started doing donuts down the highway. Our bus driver handled the situation well, trying not to barrel down on it and we slowed over the distance enough to miss the car by a foot. One of our '04 alums came later and ended up in a donut and then in the ditch. The car behind him did the same thing 15 feet further down. The sheriff came along and slowed down that section of highway.
Side note: On Friday, the whole team built a snowman together. It was the first time many of them had seen snow, so the snowman team building experience was something they will always remember. They found a double A battery in the snow for a nose.
