No I'll probably take the Mazda. I try not to drive the SVX on long trips.

I think that's a Weather Channel thing. Adds drama! Intensity!

The next one is Winter Storm Orko. Yes, really. Listen to us! This is serious! Prep now!

Watched a sedan tumble over an embankment last weekend after it entered a curve way, way too fast for conditions: A dusting of snow. (The occupants emerged without serious injury.) At least you folks in the northeast know how to drive in the stuff.

Well I admit while driving during that storm I must have hit a patch of black ice along an otherwise snow coated but striaght back road and spun out. Driving in this with all season tires didn't help. About 20 minutes after my powersteering belt (which I swore was installed about 2 years ago) decided to turn into spaghetti. There's always a price for driving in bad weather whether you initally seeing it immediately or not.

I got about 6 inches on average around here. Luckily most of it was powder so it wasn't so difficult to shovel. I'm worried about the mixed forecast for Wednesday if the temperature goes down low enough. Saturday for NJ seems to be a shower, CT always gets it a lot worse.

It has been my observation... here, there, everywhere... that folks tend to drive at the very limits of control in any sort of inclement weather. A guy was killed here a few weeks ago after his small pickup hydroplaned and crossed a grassy median into incoming traffic, and it's little surprise because people bleepin' fly on that stretch of road. The driver of that car that went over that embankment simply let his guard down, entered an icy curve too fast, and off they went. Had I not been following him, if might well have been me.
