We don't have enough of the pretty fluffy snow to play in, but we get the ice that is horrible to drive on. I can't deal with driving around the bridge or the curves between my place and town.
The bridge is surrounded by curves. If I did make it out of the driveway safely, I'd have to go around a 45 degree curve to the left onto the bridge and a 45 degree turn to the right once I crossed the bridge.
Forget the other route into town. It has those curves like the ones pictured on the road signs in the Pee Wee Herman movies or the joke Florida voting ballot going around back then. Some of those curves are so sharp, I have actually (out of reflex) turned the turn signal on when turning into them. And they do the same thing, first they turn really sharply one way and just as you get into the center of them, damned if there isn't another curve going the other way.
My aunt had a saying when going through this area: Winding around and winding about Leaves my mind in serious doubt As to whether the lout who built this route Was going to hell or coming out.
I always enjoyed hearing her say that when we would go through the hilly area of town.
