From our place, it takes about half an hour, but with the road conditions, I worry that travel will be difficult and I don't want to risk an accident.
My boyfriend's brother is adamant on keeping plans the way they are. Originally, the party would be next weekend and it gave us enough time to plan what we would bring, safer travel conditions, etc.
Basically, I don't think it is wise to travel tonight, BUT I feel like if I bring this up with my boyfriend, he will get annoyed again. Are my feelings justified? I don't agree with his brother's decision to plan this small party, knowing well that there will be a snowstorm. It will be dangerous and their family doesn't change plans regardless of weather. How can I bring this up to my boyfriend without sparking some sort of disagreement?

justified because yes they are your feelings and concerns. This is a difference of perspective and while I agree and am not one that would go out for something trivial such as a party through a storm to get to it, this is something that needs to be communicated with the people insisting it goes on. If you're too afraid of being confronted with the opposition, you'll never be able to assert yourself. You have to make the decision yourself and stand by it tho. if he wants to still go, it's his decision (and keep in mind you can't force him not to) but he can go alone. this is the one and only way you'll be able to make it clear that you won't be pushed into doing what others want, at the very least when you think safety is in question.
