Growing up in the South, you don’t have a lot of opportunities to test out your winter gittin’ around skills.  And with a big snowstorm about to him my hometown area, here are a few hard learned lessons about moving around in the white stuff.

Cowboy boots and ice don’t mix.

Always wipe the snow off the top of the car door before you open it.  Or just wear your rain pants everywhere.

Drive like you’re in your bass boat.  Look way out front and pretend you got little or no brakes.

Them big ‘ol four wheel drives are great at getting ya’ going, but ain’t no help at all when it comes to stopping.

And the number one thing to remember:  It’s not all about how well you can drive in the snow, it’s more about how the folks around you drive in the snow.

Now that I really think about it, you may want to stay home if you can.
