[12:12 PM EST - A new month, a new storm.]

We are in the middle of a winter storm right now. I left for work a little earlier than usual and actually made it to the office on time! The main reason is because that there was just a fraction of the number of cars on the road than there normally was. Everyone was going slowly, but just because there were a lot less people, traffic kept flowing.

The snow was pretty slippery, and I had to be extra careful when I was driving to work, but once I got to the parking lot next to the building, I was free to play around! The lot was less than half full and mostly unploughed, so I drove onto the unploughed section and started slip sliding around. I did not have much time to do anything, but I was not able to do donuts, or drift, or anything. I did not even fish tail.

So yeah, I got to the office on time, but I showed up a tad bit late.

Did you try doing reverse-donuts? (driving backwards?) W' front-wheel drive, going forwards doesn't really work... (says the girl from the north, who learned to drive on an ice road)

Actually, EK did mention that it would be easier to do donuts going backwards with these front wheel drive vehicles. I did not try though, I kept playing around with my forward sliding.. (Still fun!)
