This weekend it was quite cold and icy. Not like in the North, mind you, but cold for the South. At least 3 people died in car accidents over the weekend because of the icy roads.
I remember my first experience with ice on a road in rural Louisiana. Was driving a VW beetle. Husband says, "Slow down"! Well, I did and we ended up in the ditch. Not a deep ditch so there was no damage. We were just surprised. That was my first experience with learning how to NOT apply brakes when there is ice on the road. I was lucky; I lived through my learning experience unlike some. I now have many years of cold weather driving under my belt; experience gleaned in Alaska where I never ended up in a ditch.
