    i have to take kai to school by nine. i wonder if mother nature knows i don't know how to drive in snow. personlly, i'm looking for a place to send a complaint letter. you think the local weather man is the appropriate person to receive such a letter?

    See if you were in the south the whole town would shut down.

    Wow, it's been so unseasonably warm where I live. It's actually supposed to reach a high of 67 today, which is just crazy. Normally we're in the 30's or lower 40's this time of year with snow. It feels like spring out. Nuts I tell you! We've been in the 60's for a couple of weeks. Global warming anyone? ;)

    I don't know how to drive in the snow either
    but that's mostly because I don't have my license. Here, snow is part of life, we have it like 6 months of the year. Go slow, assume it'll take you longer to start moving than normal (snow slippery), just be really cautious, avoid roads that aren't used a ton becuase the snow won't be squished down yet very well ('less you have an offroad vehicle). Make sure you warm your car first, wipe off the snow, scrape off teh ice, that sort of thing.

    Well at least you got out of having to drive in the snow! I get really nervous driving in the snow when the roads are all icy and slick. Scarey stuff. Last year when I was taking my oldest to kindergarten one very snowy morning, I was coming up to the stop sign and my van just starts skidding out into the intersection, I was driving super slow, it was just when I went to brake, I hit some black ice and we slid. Luckily, there weren't any other cars coming, but it was scarey regardless when you feel the car going out of control!

    i think i might if I still feel wore down. Man everytime I start to feel better I go and ruin it ): I don't really like snowboarding that much...I just feel so cool in the googles...much cooler than diving masks. I'm soooooooo bad though I think i might actually hit the spa and the bar instead...

    It really dumped on us here finally yesterday... I dont mind driving in snow as long as I dont get stuck.... although after a few cigarettes and some swearing I can usually make it out using my car mats under the wheels.

    I love driving in the snow, the nice thing about my car is that it has traction control, and I laugh my ass off everytime because once the car starts sliding, the lil computer comes on and says "losing control" "out of control" "lost traction"...... I never panic though, I don't really think anything of it at all unless there's other cars around me.
