We've had some snow and ice around us the past couple of weekends (calling for more tomorrow and then be 60s the next day :doh
but I try to find a road less traveled and play on it if you will. Helps to remember what to do when your sliding and stuff. Not saying I cant or dont mess up because Ive messed up before and crashed, luckily nobody was injured and the vehicle didnt suffer too much. Usually when I had crashed I had either got too cocky, built up too much speed, or both. LOL. I really enjoy playing on the stuff, most people think I'm crazy. I have even taken several people out and found a road or a big open parking lot that was iced over. Put the vehicle in an out of control situation and showed them how to bring it back. Then make them do it. Its fun and educational! I think that it has helped me out though in numerous occasions by avoiding wrecks. Anything can happen though! I do realize that.
I also have a tendency to avoid highways unless we get some major snow. I will run back roads and go where ever I need to. It avoids all of the wrecks that way. The only problem is if its too bad then somebody equipped like me or better is gonna have to come and rescue me.
Ever since my mom and stepdad got married we have had cattle, so the snow only means the day just got longer and colder cause the cows still got to eat. We just learned how to drive in the snow and ice at an early age I guess because we had to. I cant hardly stand setting around the house now when we get snow. So I go help my stepdad feed, go check on my grandma, check on the future ex-wifes grandma, then try and go play.
Love my jeep!
