I don't mind so much driving in the snow- It is just that I don't like other drivers in the snow. It is like a majority of people and teenagers put on a stupid hat when the weather turns bad. We live 15 miles out of town in a farming area and somedays it amazes me what people do and then can't figure out what happened when they are off the road or in an accident. Sometimes things just happen-accidents happen- but just because you are in a big vehicle with 4 wheel drive does not mean you are invincible.
When I started driving here in Idaho you could take Driver's Ed as soon as you turned 14 and get your license as soon as you passed it. So I had my license when I was just barely 14-scares the bejeebers out of me to think of my kids being able to drive at that age(different now)and espically in the winter.
Off my soapbox now-hope you are able to get out mdall. There are advantages to living in the middle of nowhere-just apparently this is not one of those times.
