> The thing about driving through snow is that you have to be one with it. You have to respect it, because the moment you stop respecting it, it kills you. But otherwise it's mind over matter. Be the snow. Be the car. Be the road. Then you can do your respecting without stressing, and navigating through snow banks becomes almost fun.

Wow. I LOVE hearing people say stuff like that. You should come give winter driving lessons to Calgarians. Many of my fellow citizens could stand to learn some of the lessons you know so well. Of course, having learned to drive in the distant north (I have seen snow fall in every month except July) I feel the same way you do, and I love driving in snow, but around here, it's the other drivers that scare me... Heavy storms like the one you are talking about here (yes, I consdier it heavy, despite my "flurries" comment in another post) are great because everyone else is afraid to drive, which leaves only those of us who know what we're doing out on the roads.

> Sometimes it's liberating to do something crazy and unconventional. Leen and I made a memory together. How cool is that?

VERY cool. You guys RULE. Don't be a FOOL. Stay in SCHOOL.
