My husband and kids left at 7 am for a 5 1/2 hour drive. They should have arrived at their destination by 1 at the latest.

They're not there yet.

It's winter driving here--a winter weather warning.

The route they are driving is mostly two-lane, in isolated areas, on roads that wind up grades that follow rivers.

I don't know how long to wait until I do something about it. I know to wait at least another hour--until 2 our time, which is two hours later than their "outside" arrival time.

They are on their way to see my psychologist...about an every other six weeks' trip. He called about noon to ask if I'd heard. And he sent me an email about 8 AM telling me the weather was bad there. (I could have done without that email--there is no weather advisory warning popping up on my weather site...and all he did was alarm me....)

I sent him an email about an hour ago, asking if they were there. No response.....

I'm going to call him now.

My heart is beating so hard and fast I can hardly breathe.....
