RE: Snow Way!!

in #life6 years ago

Haha! Great post. I am a might bit determined and stubborn when it comes to staying put in snow. I have never let it slow me down or stop me from doing what I wanted to do. I can trace it all the way back to my late teens.

I was staying with my Aunt and Uncle briefly. It was during one of the heaviest snows we had experienced in quite some time here in the good old south of the USA.

I had plans and was just not about being stuck. lol! We woke to 12 inches of snow, which is a lot for us. Our driveway was a good 100 ft. My uncle was elderly and I had no expectations of him shoveling the driveway. I was perfectly content taking that responsibility on. But, he didn't want the neighbors to see a teenage girl out shoveling his driveway. He was very proud. So he came out along beside me and snarled and cursed a little under his breath the entire time. He said I was the most stubborn person he had ever known. lol! I am ok with that. I had to work hard to get what I wanted even that young, so really that was a compliment.

Once I had shoveled my way out of the driveway, I put the shovel in the trunk of my car and off I went. I drove on slick roads, slid a few times, got stuck in some patches of snow, but dug my way out each time. And, I survived even in a little ole southern hick town.

Now ice, that is a whole different beast. I might just stay put on that one. ;)

Lol, well that is quite the determination!

Our snow tends to be the very wet icy kind so it makes it all a it perilous. There was a point tonight I slid sideways for ten feet and thought oh bugger but fortunately never hit anything and got the control back!

I actually love snow. one of the reasons I like getting out of work is to just go and play in it hehe

I was determined. lol! Yes, I hear you on the ice. I am with you on that. I have had a very similar experience and that feeling of having no control is scary. There is literally nothing you can do, but try your best to manage the steering somehow, but that is even not guaranteed. Thank goodness you were able to to avoid an incident. I love to play in the snow too. Thanks for the memory. x
