One of Those Moments When You See Your Life Pass Before Your Eyes....

It's not even snowing yet (nasty word sorry) but I remembered a time probably about 20-years ago when I was still driving and working. I had gone out to the car early in the a.m to start it and get it warmed up, windows scraped, etc. for the morning drive to work. The parking lot is not huge but pretty good sized. I walked out into it and it was like glass. I was slipping and sliding, trying so hard not to fall. I thought sure I was done for. Oh, the medical bills! I luckily was able to latch on to the nearest car and held on for dear life until I caught my breath and could move on. Whoa! That was scary.

One weather problem I do not like is extreme cold weather and slippery roads since I fear falling down on icy roads and breaking a bone.

Your scary description reminds me too much of the old days at our last home. I easily got sick of Eastern Washington's winters.

Is that black ice,. people warned me of that. I always said I will stay down here then. I have enough problems walking normal.

Same here, it does not even snow anymore. I remember the last time we got really a lot of snow, it was 10 years ago.

That could have been very dangerous indeed. I'm glad you didn't fall.

That's why I couldn't survive living in your weather.
