Winter Driving
I am really terrified of driving in the winter in bad weather. I have to drive to Bend tomorrow to meet up with some friends for a weekend of camping and snowshoeing. I'm really excited for the snowshoeing. I am NOT really excited for the "SEVERE WINTER WEATHER WARNING" in red that I see listed on Tripcheck for Stinkingwater Pass (isn't that a lovely name?), which I have to cross to get to Bend.
Road conditions are listed as "packed snow" on the pass. And it's not even snowing right now, nor is it expected to snow all weekend - and the roads are still crap. As much as I hate salt on the roads in New England, at least it makes driving in the winter less terrifying. I mean, this isn't even really bad weather, it's just some snow on the roads, and it still makes me not want to go (but I'm still gonna go)! I am, however, buying chains before I leave.
