The Joy of Wintry Driving Conditions

Here in central Texas, we've been firmly adhered to annual pattern of one or two really frickin' cold days (read: 24-29ºF, quickly levelling out around the 40's) out of a whole winter. The last two years, those days came in February and were accompanied with precipitation.

You would have thought the Fifth Coming of Christ was upon us. Wails of "black ice" deafened me from every angle except my best friend, who was as amused at the spectacle as I was.

Hell, I have MORE FUN on those days than any other in the year. The roads are utterly deserted (and this includes IH-35, one of the busiest highways in the US) and the police are too busy with wrecks inside Austin and little old cold ladies to pay me any attention as I make the most out of a low-friction driving environment.

Inspiration due to Jay Jardine.

Empty parking lot + fresh snow + parking brake = winter driving bliss...

Enjoy it before it melts!
