" Nobody else but you will know how to drive in this stuff. "
THAT part is true. Bad roads, just STAY OFF OF THEM and I can handle the snow, the ice the slick, the storms
withOUT other panicked drivers making things worse!
14 winters of driving out 7 miles to care for horses (on somebody else's property), and one winter where I was driving in a blizzard in our 3/4 Dodge Cummins diesel withOUT snow tires, and the visibility was 20 ft max. I knew ALL of the stop signs, road signs and landmarks. a 15 minute drive took me 75 minutes each way.
I learned to stay off of lesser used roads during a snowstorm bc the county won't plow them until sometimes days later.
Didn't slip, didn't slide, didn't go off of the road into a ditch, kept the truck running when I got there to feed.
Now, whenEVER the driving is dicey I STAY HOME!
