Going North!
Topic 27467 | Page 1
Good luck! Stay safe out there!
You’ll probably surprise yourself at how good you are and how easy it’ll be.
You can go too slow all day long, but you’ll go too fast only once. 😊
No mountains to drive. 👍
Enjoy!
If you can drive Missouri, or Pennsylvania, or Ohio, then you'll have no problems in Wisconsin.
No mountains, but some big hills every once in a while. Nice looking scenery for most of it. As you get near the cities, the car drivers get worse with their driving actions. There may be some snow here and there, but they do a good job keeping the roads clear. Things are more expensive up there, too. Make sure you don't mention the 49ers for the next several months up there, either.
Where is your destination, Donna? I may know some good places to eat or park.
I’ve driven in the area several times but it was in the summer months. I’ve not driven snow and ice any!
Get a good cold weather work jacket when you get to Wisconsin. A "heavy" jacket in Georgia is more of a windbreaker up north. Same with gloves.
Atleast the winter weather will be done in Wisconsin. Getting up there may be a different story though. You can do it!

I know drivers need to experience snow, but sometimes wish they could do it elsewhere. So annoying to be tooling around on a normal winter day and come up behind someone who has never seen a snowflake before. If you feel it’s the worst snowstorm you’ve ever seen and feel unsafe doing over 40 on the interstate , park somewhere, so us local guys can get our work done. Please. 😄

So where do the newest drivers gain experience driving in the snow?
What a dumb statement.
