I was a passenger in a 4-wheel drive with two other yankees coming back from lunch in the snowstorm. They were complaining about how the other drivers were going too slow, and then the driver lost control and spun out :-)



reminder: 4-wheel-drive does NOT necessarily mean 4-wheel-stop.

what most people don't realize is that driving in snow/ice is ALL ABOUT losing control. what makes you good at it is how quickly you REGAIN control after it's lost.

needless to say, i think i'm avoiding going out today. :)
