Take it from me - shovel your driveway.

Postby flyboy 28 » Mon Dec 17, 2007 7:13 pm

So with the recent snowy/rainy/sleeting/freezing rainy/windy/frosty conditions we've been having the last few days here, there hasn't been much chance to clear off the driveway. In hindsight, that is definitely a bad thing. This evening I pulled into my driveway, hit a divot that was left by my dad's Jeep, and went out of control into a small wall we have for planters.

(insert four letter word here).

whoops. Talk about completely useless in anything more than a light breeze. So much for ground clearance.

It happens... be thankful you didn't lose control on the highway; I've been there and I don't recommend it. ;)

Reminds me I'll be hitting the Skyway tonight on my way to work... I'll have to keep a sharp lookout, because there's still some ice around here.
