Blizzard Threatens NYC, New England; 2 Feet Feared

[Mnemosyne]

13. Here in NW Pa. it never fails that people act like they have never driven on snow every year, and

there are idiots wrecking all over the first few snows. 'Why does my car slide going fifty mph on ice?' Duh.

I was once hit by a woman at an intersection, very icy, but she was going at least 40mph on the cross street posted 35, then slid through clipping the passenger side bumper of my car. It was like riding the Tilt-o-Whirl! Wheee! It was ok, the telephone pole stopped my slide. Moron had only had her license for three weeks and it was her THIRD accident! It was a woman in her thirties, not a teen.

I lived in San Antonio one winter. Eight inches of snow, 350 car accidents in a few hours! Same idiotic thought processes without the experience. 'Why does my car slide going fifty mph on ice.?' Another duh.
