Halsey was headed home for the Thanksgiving holidays to see his family. They live in Des Moines, which is 650 miles away. After being on the road for 4 hours, Halsey encountered some bad weather that prompted him to slow down 15 miles per hour to maintain a safer driving pace. If Halsey took an hour along the way to fill up with gas and grab a bite to eat, and subsequently reached Des Moines 11 hours after starting the trip, what speed was he driving prior to encountering the inclement weather?
