i'm thinking that instead of 'the great white death', snow in cincinnati should be called 'idiots, start your engines'. it happens every year, so let's learn to drive in this stuff already.

• slow and steady will get you there
• leave plenty of space for responding to people and conditions
• start earlier than usual
• don't go out unless you have to
• have good tires on a good vehicle
• turn on your lights to increase visibility (of you and by you)
• keep weight in your vehicle
• clean all your windows completely (even sides and rear)

i've tried to keep my frustration to myself and just let some helpful hints be known. however, if this craziness continues, stronger action will be taken. as dr. david banner often said, "don't make me angry. you wouldn't like me when i'm angry."
