Hey , judtdubbing , Being from across the pond , I'm not sure what you get for snow out there , but over here in the colonies(Canada) , we get more than our fair share . Starting last night we got a pretty good dump of the white stuff . I had to run some errands today , and even though I have lived here all of my life , I still can't believe the amount of stupid people out here who shouldn't be on the road , but think that it will be all right . I live on the edge of town , and was driving on a country road when I came across a couple in a minivan in the ditch . I was helped by several other guys , and we got them out . The guy driving said to me "It's a minivan , what do you expect?" . I guess he didn't notice that I , too , was driving a minivan , and had absolutely no problems whatsoever . The thing is , not to blow my own horn , that I drive so much as a part of my job , that I have learnt how to drive in all weather conditions . When ever the weather turns miserable , I don't worry about the conditions , I worry about the other drivers and what kind of trouble that they will cause . Axl
