Fun in the snow

It is snowing outside. I took it started right before I left work cuz the streets had not been plowed. It is so much fun to drive in the center of the road cuz I can't see the lines. How often does one get to do that? I drove very slow forcing the people behind me to zoom pass. I notice a lot of revving from trucks and Suv's making them fishtail when they turn. Then snow flies up when they try to stop. I skid every time I try to stop so I am not speeding up. Then someone had to turn right causing the 3 cars ahead of me to to slide and hit the curb cause this was on a curve (turning left). The one in front of me (Suv) hits the curb so hard he goes over and plops back down on the road. I have to hit the curb to keep from spinning as I try to slow down (turning the wheel to follow the curve), only I just brush it gently (I was going 25 at this point). Hitting the curb is also a good way to stop the car if you are skidding. I notice the Suv driving slower after that until he got to go through a yellow light and I had to stop. No more curb hitting or skidding cuz a snowplow appeared so the road was less snowy. Home again, jiggety jog. I'll have fun tomorrow brushing all the wet snow off my car.
