Since I am a warm weather person, I thought I would make a list just to keep myself from going insane.
5. Ice bombs. You are driving down Route 66 at 55mph. You hear the movement above your head. There it goes, that big sheet of ice on the top of your car. You look in your rear view mirror to watch the fiasco. The wind takes it up in multiple parts and you watch to see if it crashes down on to another vehicle. Mucho fun.
I was just driving home now from Wegmans and saw an ice bomb from one vehicle annihilate a silver mini van.
“Aaaahaaa bullseye”. My enjoyment is elevated as I munch on my favorite oatmeal, nut and raisin cookies from Wegman’s bakery. Did the minivan do anything to me, No, but it is like a video game, you get blasted, it was sadistic fun and you move on.
4. I can drive in it you can’t. My neighbors must be transients from no snow climates. I observe them hitting the gas, with tires spinning, they plead with there cars to move out of there parking space. I’m always one of the first out of the community. I’m not afraid. If the car slides to one side or the other, it is fun. You don’t get that challenge other times of the year.
At first icing with a new car, I find an open parking lot with no obstacles and get it up to at least 40mph, and hit the brakes turning the car hard to one side.
It is ice skating…..with no risk of thumping your melon….airbag equipment does not come standard with ice skates.
Then I do figure eights as fast as possible. I want to see how my car handles so when I am on the road I know what to expect. I also practice correcting my vehicle on a hydroplane. I loved doing that with a rear wheel drive, two-seater sport cars, my MR2s, what a blast. The one without ABS would pull multiple 360s. I was like a top, just spinning out of control. Yahoo~!!
3. No designated parking. Can’t see the spaces, park anywhere, take up 2, take up 4, hell park sideways….I do. Can’t ding my car now, can you?
2. Watching children play in the snow…so cute.
The best thing about snow….
SCHOOL CLOSED ON THE DAY I HAD TO GIVE MY STUPID COMMUNICATION’S CLASS PRESENTATION.
I’m jazzed about that.
