Weather and Driving

Just a sample of some of the weather that we have been having here in good ol' Northern PA ;) I know most people complain about driving in these conditions. However, I have never really had much of a problem with winter driving accept in the most exteme of conditions. In fact, I quite enjoy it. I think where most people go wrong is in panicking. If you start to slide you can't just correct yourself like you are on dry roads. Yes, you may be staring the ditch down, but if you crank that wheel like a kid pulling taffy that is where you will end up anyways. Winter driving is all about slight movements and minor corrections. Yes, the snow/slush/sleet is going to move you around and throw you out of your lane. You can't expect to go as fast as on dry roads either. But, with the right amount of caution (especially towards "the other guy") a winter ride can be quite fun.
