It was snowing pretty heavily on Saturday.
Unfortunately Seth and I had errands to run - we had to go pick up some Cold Stone for a friend and then bring it to her in the hospital.
I was driving up State Street very slowly and carefully because I hate driving in the snow with a passion. And that's when this car decided to turn left and pulled right in front of me.
I had to hit my brakes so that I wouldn't drive right into the car. And that's when my own car started sliding all over the road.
My back end started swinging first to the left, then to the right, then to the left again. It did a half turn and it finally slid to a halt in the middle of the lane facing oncoming traffic.
Luckily enough, there was not very much traffic because of the snow and most of the cars behind me were driving slow enough that they could easily go around me. I pulled off to a side road to calm down and reorient my car.
I was cursing the car that pulled in front of me for the rest of the day. Idiot!
As if that were not enough for one car trip, on the way back a large pile of snow fell off a traffic light and launched itself at my front window. It scared the crap out of me.
Definitely never living in Utah after I graduate. EVER.

And that is why I have told you over and over again not to take STATE street when its snowing or icing. I've told you this before because of the multiple cars spinning that one day and how fortunate I was to be on the far side. State, on a slope, is really bad in the snow. Take university parkway! I keep saying that.
