For Those Of You Who Live In Snowy Areas, Does This Sound Familiar?

It's a page from my story: I trudge through the eight inches of snow that had aculated overnight to get to my truck. Fluffy dust is piled up on the trunk and in the bed. I climb in, which is quite a considerable feat since I top out at a flat 5 feet tall, roll down my window, and back out of the driveway. This is not exactly the best way to go about driving, but I'm to lazy to sc off the snow. I start up the hill at a snails pace. People don't seem to realize this, but when going up a steep hill in winter, you do not gun it. Gunning it just melts the snow, which then freezes and makes it impossible for anyone else to get up the hill. Us folks that have lived on the hill all our lives gather outside on the morning after a snowstorm and watch the rookies spin into snowbanks. We Shout encouragements and advice. Our shovels are at ready to dig them out when they don't listen to us. They'll learn.
