I like to describe Cozy Grove as a sort of quest-based Animal Crossing. Sign up for our Games newsletter and never miss our latest gaming tips, reviews, and features. We had heat, private space, a bathroom, and as others on the train inquired about diapers or formula, overpacking ensured we weren’t hungry. We had no idea when we’d get moving again, but in many ways, we were lucky.
In a surreal turn of events, we didn’t get any updates until almost noon because the train conductor forgot to include our car in announcements. There were trees down on the tracks between Richmond and Washington, DC, and we couldn’t move until they were cleared. The trouble started around 5:30 am, when I woke up to discover the train wasn’t moving. However, like many others, we got stuck when a massive snowstorm pummeled the Northeast last week, leaving cars stranded on I-95 in Virginia, and us stuck in our cabin with little to do but wait. We could isolate with my family, and, on the journey home, try to stay Covid-safe in a private cabin. Ultimately, my husband and I decided to get out of the Philadelphia cold and take our toddler south to my parents’ house, driving down and taking an Amtrak train back. Like many other families, mine struggled with what to do this holiday season as Omicron cases surged. This revelation came via the kind of catastrophe befitting the start of 2022.
