But being away from it so long made me realize how harsh it really was. Yes, snow tires were a must up there. Otherwise you’d be jet skiing down the mountain on your way to work. But even with the snow tires, driving in it was very tough as I’m sure you can understand. I remember one time when I was 16 and driving home from school and it was pouring snow. I came up to this sharp turn and completely lost control of the car and skidded all the way across the highway. And I’m watching the river getting closer and closer and I just closed my eyes as I hit the guardrail and bounced off and got sent back into the middle of the road. Luckily no other cars were around at that point. That guardrail  probably saved my life as without it I would’ve gone right into the river. This surprises me. I would think just watching the weather channel and the local news would be enough to get people ready. Then again it’s the same thing here with hurricane season. Most people don’t prepare and only start getting ready at the last minute and it’s pure chaos.</blockquote>
