Road to town

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169477) • United States 10 Jan 24

Bob had a doctor's appointment in Marion. The roads were okay. That is a good thing as I have work tomorrow. Then we will have to go to Newton to pick up a new prescription for him. It is actually one my doctor talked about...

Emotional Day

CountryGirl31 @CountryGirl31 (1259) • United States 9 Jan 19

Winter Driving

Richard L. Meister Jr. @RichardMeister (5328) • Otis Orchards, Washington 10 Jan 17

Every year after the first snowfall the police come out with the same warning–slow down, slow down, slow down. But there is always some dimwit who thinks he of she has better control over the vehicles on icy, snowy roads than...

Plans for This Afternoon

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 7 Jan 17

It appears that no one wants to go out today. I know that I certainly don't. The alternative (which is already being planned it another Monopoly game, but from what I hear, hubby and darling daughter are rewriting the rules so...

Forced concentration

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69176) • Centralia, Washington 4 Feb 16

Goal: get hubby to work. First step: quit staring at the overnight sheet of icy snow and start cleaning the car glass. Second step: curse, talk my way down the road, feeling the ice, ignoring the guy behind. Grateful he...

Smacking myself on the head

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69176) • Centralia, Washington 28 Dec 15

Almost wrote smacking myself on the back. Reality: I have a very bad back. Can't smack that. Its done. I got hubby to work within the 'inclement weather' fifteen minutes late arena. Our road felt creepy so I let the...

Another unwrapped gift for me

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69176) • Centralia, Washington 24 Dec 15

Happy Christmas Eve everyone. Sweetness. Hubby called a cab this morning. There went thirty dollars but hey it wasn't me navigating the roads. They looked okay, considering it was 17 above and all. (Sure was cold walking the...

First real snow makes for a bad drive to work

Shannon @fawkes62 (1276) • United States 19 Nov 15

This morning we received our first real snowfall of the winter. For a first snowfall, it wasn't that bad. I don't know how much we got, but it wasn't a lot. The thing that made it bad was that we also have 30 mph winds sustained,...

Counting down and I do not mean to Yule

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69176) • Centralia, Washington 12 Nov 15

Tonight I drove the dark county roads. Hubby wanted some time off from the family drama so I took him over to a buddy's house. Just a tickle. Just a rain tickle on the windshield. The temps were above freezing. Just those...

I'm just going to wave when I see you stuck in the ditch.

uath13 @uath13 (8192) • United States 8 Feb 11

I usually stop & help whenever I see a motorist in trouble but frankly I'm tired of peoples stupidity. Yesterday we got hit with another winter storm which turned the roads into a slushy mess. Personally I have an all wheel drive...

Snow and people driving in snow.

megamatt @megamatt (14290) • United States 12 Dec 10

Every year, it never fails. There are a bunch of people on the road that still have not mastered the simple fact that driving in bright sunny weather and driving in the snow are two different things. That they have to slow down...

Winter driving

bounce58 @bounce58 (17380) • Canada 6 Nov 09

What are your thoughts of winter driving? Do you manage? I hate the fact that I have to change to winter tires. Last year, I did not change, and just kept my all season tires. There were a couple of fishtailing, but I made it...

Thinking of getting a new vehicle

saundyl @saundyl (9783) • Canada 17 Dec 08

Two years ago my dad said Saundy you need to start thinking about getting a new car - this one has a lot of miles on it and it might start having issues. Well...that was in 2006. I thought about it definitely when i started having...

The most frustrating thing about winter driving is

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 18 Dec 07

snowbanks. They are almost 10 feet tall already, and it's only December. I hate to think what they will be like in a couple of months. I can't see around them, so I have to inch out into the street, then I almost get hit because I...

Why do people do this?

foxyfire33 @foxyfire33 (10005) • United States 13 Dec 07

We got some snow today for the second time this season. Here in Pennsylvania snow is not at all uncommon. So why is it that some people still can't figure out to either learn to drive in it or stay off the road. I know...
