Driving in snow is a learned skill, that's for sure.

*jclo3313* · 12-21-2008, 03:47 PM

You learn or you die trying.

ChinoCharles · 12-21-2008, 03:52 PM

Maybe you can teach me?

Im getting ready to move out of my apt for the "winter" break

Black Yaris · 12-21-2008, 04:33 PM

best way to learn to drive in the snow and ice is to find an empty parking lot and start playing with the throttle, brake and hand brake to make the car go "out of control" so you can feel what it does and you can learn to correct it

Rain · 12-21-2008, 04:34 PM

Thanks for the tips Black Yaris :]

Very good description. It's as much watching out for everyone else as it is watching what you're doing and how you're doing it. It's a true test of your multi-taskin skills. lol

Rain · 12-21-2008, 05:18 PM

Oh wow. Never mind. I don't think I'd be ready to do that

March is a month where it can go either way. We can still be having snowstorms then. The temps are bit more mild...40's, maybe 50's if we're lucky.

But with regards to snowfall, I had my oldest daughter May SIXTEENTH of 1990...and 2 days before we had a snowstorm that dropped 8 inches.

Bob_VT · 12-21-2008, 05:40 PM

Well it is dropping at 2-3" per hour and building fast. Yesterday the cars were cleared off and it never ends......... Picnic anyone? Check out my table

*jclo3313* · 12-21-2008, 05:47 PM

Well I'm out and you yankees stay warm.
