BrodH2O: No Love for Driving in the Snow

Full post here

I love the look of the snow in winter, but otherwise, there's not a lot of love lost between me and Old Man Winter. I hate the cold. I hate scraping ice off my car windows. I hate wet socks and cold toes. I especially hate driving on winter roads. I admittedly fall into one of the groups of winter drivers that people can't stand. One of my colleagues describes it this way: "You drive like an old lady." And I do. I pretty much avoid the freeway in the winter because I have learned that it really pisses people off when you drive 25 mph on a freeway. So I take the back roads and crawl to work in my trusty Kia Rio. I think my fear of driving in the snow might have something to do with the time my snowtires came off. Literally came off my car -- Mommy Dearest/BrodH20.

Question: What is your worst experience re: driving in the snow?
