I take that back.</p><p>First it started snowing last night.&#160; Then at some point, it started <del>raining</del> I mean, pouring.&#160; Then it began to snow again.&#160; I&#39;ve been told the snow is very heavy and of course it is... The snow on the ground is holding the water like a sponge.&#160; I have also been told it&#39;s freezing.&#160; I haven&#39;t seen weather this bad, here in Syracuse, in December, in a long while.&#160; Past&#160; few winters and perhaps longer than that, it&#39;s been mild in December.&#160; Snow comes, snow goes.&#160; Sometimes we don&#39;t have a &quot;White Chrsitmas&quot;, but it seems inevitable this year.</p><p>In the past, I didn&#39;t like the winter because I&#39;d spend many days stuck out waiting for public transportation in it.&#160; Where ever I was going, once I got there, I&#39;d end up spending part of the day in partially cold and wet clothes.&#160; I am a master of bundling up, but once the snow finds a way, game over.&#160; This year, it&#39;s not so much ending up wet that bothers me, it&#39;s driving in it.&#160; It&#39;s not easy!&#160; I&#39;m a careful guy, I don&#39;t like breaking things or crashing, but it&#39;s harder to be careful in a vehicle that weighs several hundred pounds (possibly a ton?).... Especially with two wheel drive and shitty all season tires.&#160; I take it slow.&#160; I&#39;m learning the tricks, but I can&#39;t say that for everyone around me.&#160; If you&#39;ve driven or read any of my past posts, even everyday driving can be wrought with problems.&#160; I just hope I can get through this season without any accidents.&#160; I&#39;m trying my very best to be careful.</p><p>If anyone has any advice, even though I may have heard it before, I&#39;d be happy to hear it again.<br /> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://bouche.vox.com/library/post/as-my-friends-and-i-woudl-say-to-eachother-brrr-motherfuckerbrrr.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c225230773549d00e398c8ebfb0005?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> snow driving storm ice hazards slippery roads
