Yes......unless it’s 15 below and the ice is so hard you either break your foot or a chunk of your vehicle comes off with it.

I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. I am so used to my state of Minnesota taking such good care of the highways and roadways in winter that I forgot others may not be as fortunate.

Drive safely!
Yeah?

I can handle the cold and snow (for the most part).


I can handle the early darkness.



What irks me about winters is the bad roads. I know MN does a pretty good job keeping up overall as we're used to it...just that people forget how to drive (at first) and getting places during storms or bad weather sucks. Within a day or two the roads are clear and I'm happy again.

Let the fun begin starting tomorrow. The snow flies and the roads clog with sluggish traffic.

Although it irks me to be in crawling traffic, I'd rather the other drivers err on the side of caution instead of spinning out and possibly hitting me head on.

And so it begins.

Snow on the roads can EASILY become ice.

Yes, I know that and none of my sentences were false.

When I had to visit MN I mostly hated the cold.
