Still glowing with a sense of superiority:

We are in a part of the country that is covered in snow/ice, and that is REALLY not used to that.

So I’m driving and the police are at the bottom of a hill directing traffic away from the hill. I stop and roll down my window. The female officer says “You can try it but you won’t make it.”

So I nod, smile, put it in gear, go around her, drive up to the top of the hill, stick my arm out and wave back at her.

In her defense, she probably didn’t see that I was that .001% of people with chains on my tires.

1. With all due respect, don't let the chains give you a false sense of security.

My mother used to say do not go hot dogging around in ice and snow.
Hot doggers are the ones who end up in ditches.

Just a spot of advice from a cold climate dweller.

2. No hot dogger here.

Was bringing my dear MIL to our house because her electricity was out.

3. Ok then, you are spared further maternal lecturing.

And you get a pat on the back as well.

4. Be careful, chains help get you going

But nothing helps you stop on ice. Not 4 wheel drive, not all wheel drive, not chains or stuffs on your tires, ice is ice, slippery and dangerous.

Be careful.
