You would think Rick would have read his blogs by now and responded. I think it's the donuts that did it for him.

Hey Rick, my man. I think this sounds like something worth reading. I love electrical showers, thunder, the snow and all sorts of extreme weather. I used to follow the dark skies when my kids were little so I could try to find some snow for them to be in. Then one day we drove out to Lancaster and it had a tiny bit of snow falling, then nothing. We stopped to eat and while we were sitting there it got all quiet and still like it dows just before it snows. It was awsome and beautiful so we stopped at a friends to kind of wait it out. On the way home as we were doing 25 miles an hour all the way from Lancaster I figured, follow the tracks the trucks were leaving. Suddently right in front of us one semi started sliding sideways over into the semi in the next lane, luckily the 2nd semi must have had a full load cause he didnt budge and the truck in front of us was able to straighten out and all was good. When my husband wondered what we were doing running around at 10 p.m. and I said well it was only 8 p.m. when we left, of course we had to tell him the story. This is when I learned my first real lesson about snow safety, "he said, you cant just see snow and go, you have to be prepared, you need chains, blankets, something." As much as I love the snow I gained a greater respect for the weather that day.
