Thank you. I don't drive much, and I've never driven in snow. One of the few accidents I've been in involved being rear-ended up at Snoqualmie. A fraction of a girl scout troupe in a VW bug gets trounced by a giant old truck. *whammo* I'm surprised none of us got hurt. Pity there was no heat in the car -- we were waiting for help for quite a while. I think that frozen Snickers are more fun when you're more than slightly warmer than they are.
Turns out, the driver hadn't brushed the snow off the roof of the cab, so when it slid down over his windshield he lost control of the truck and hit us. When he got out to see if we were okay, he just about fainted. I wonder if he was thinking about the potential lawsuit, what the cops would say or the imaginary headline:
Complete Moron Slaughters Wholesome Girl Scouts Lynching Scheduled for Tomorrow
But I digress.
I'm not sure if it'll be better for me to not have to unlearn years of bad snow-driving before starting out, or if I'd wish that I'd already gotten my time in when I'm puttering around in it. yipe.
As to walking in it, at least I already knew to head for the fluffy stuff. But how to walk on ice ... nope, that's new to me, too.
