It's about that time of year that the holidays are coming and we're all headed home from Thanksgiving/Christmas break. I love this time of year, not because of Christmas or anything like that, but because I love spending time with my family. I like the snow, the red and green and gold decorations and the smells of cinnamon candles.
I DON'T LIKE driving in the snow, though. I actually hate it. I've lived in a little rural town out in the sticks my whole life. I've had to drive on back roads in snowstorms and survived, but I've never gotten over the fear or driving on a slippery road in the dark. I have snow tires and a good winter car, yeah yeah but still, I never feel completely safe when I'm on the road with snow.
Just the other day, my friend's dad rolled their Subaru (a GREAT winter car) when he was coming down the hill by their house. He was taking their cat to the vet, and lost control on the slippery roads. Luckily both he and Skittles are okay, but terrifying nonetheless.
So, when you're all driving home or wherever you're headed over break, PLEASE be careful. Drive slow. Take the extra 30 minutes to get where you're going if that means you'll get their alive.
