Snow Storms Bring Fast Drivers, and Hidden Danger
I grew up in the south, and I always got a kick out of watching southern drivers navigate the roadways during a snowstorm. I’m sure most of us remember our first time navigating a snowy drive, and spinning our wheels.

I tend to drive slower in the snow, because you never know what everybody else is going to do, and with the extreme temps we are seeing, there can be ice on bridges and overpasses. As I take my time driving across I-496, SUVs and Pick-up trucks are flying by me like it’s a summer day.
