Snow is gentle, snow is pretty. Snow is a pain in the ass. Back in the halycon days of grade school...oh wait, they never used to give us snow days either. And that dear people is why I just spent some quality time in my car having what I'd like to refer to as, "Fun with Antilock." Yes, for those of you who aren't lucky enough to have this sort of fun it goes something like this...you need to stop quickly, (or in my case today any time you need to stop) and you depress the brake pedal. The noise that then emanates from your car varies between growling animals trapped under the hood and metal on metal screeching. Your brake pedal then seems to take a life of its own and does crazy things under your foot. But don't let up...no! You must have faith in the antilock. So what if the car is heading sort of sideways? No no...antilock will provide. Repeat this prayer to the antilock for the 40 minutes it takes you to get to your destination. Yup, this is why snow is a pain in the ass.
