OMG, I am so glad to be home! The snow was not even the worst of it tonight; it barely stuck, and there is hardly a dusting yet. But the wind.. and the sleet.. it made for a hair-raising ride. I admit freely to never exceeding 45 mph in our 55-mph road.. whereas usually I can be seen careening down the road at 65-70 on a nice day (straightaway; you can literally see for 2 miles in every direction on the part that's fun to speed on!) I just drove with 4x4 on, and avoided any sudden jerky movements or stops or sudden starts.. luckily no one was behind nor in front of me and I only passed one truck (a plow) going the other way.
Wow though! We are supposed to get a foot overnight. I firmly believe in slow and steady for driving in this junk.
In town though, there was the standard moron going 55 in a 30 who had 4x4 and therefore thouhgt he was a god. I would not be surprised if he went off the road at some point.
