THE SNOW CAUGHT US

5 years ago I spent 3 days in Switzerland with my father and my brothers.
We went to see my aunt who lives there, and we also visited Switzerland.
The day we left, we left the hotel in the morning, and just after leaving we saw that it was all snow. Yes or yes we had to leave because the next day was New Year's Eve and we celebrated  with my family.
As soon as we got to take the highway, it started to snow a lot and some cars put strings, but we didn't have them.
We tried to continue, but the cars slowed down because the road was frozen and there were many accidents.
Finally, after nine hours, we could get out there, but many people stayed more than one day there.
