Snow driving scare!


On Monday I was driving home from having lunch with the Salt Lake Council of Women in SLC and it was snowing and slushy/icy on the freeway. I was feeling pretty confident in my driving skills and driving at 65 MPH in the fast lane heading north on I-15 between Bountiful and Centerville. All of a sudden my car started to slide and I lost control. My car started to spin and I made an entire 360 degree turn across all lanes of traffic and my car finally caught some traction right before I hit the cars entering the freeway. I was able to stop in the middle section between the cars getting on the freeway and the cars on the freeway although I felt as though I would continue until I hit the barrier on the right. What a feeling!!!

I am so lucky I didn't hit anything or anyone in my crazy driving experience! I truly do not know how I did not hit anyone because there were cars all around me and I was definitely not the only one on the road but I am so grateful that I am safe and well! The Lord must have been really looking out for me and there must have been hundreds of guardian angels paving the way! After this happened, I drove home in the slow lane only going 50 MPH and I am definitely going to be more careful in the future when driving in the snow!

THAT right there is why I hate winter. Cole slid off the road yesterday on his way home from getting stamps and barely missed a mail box and a stop sign. But I am really glad you didn't get nailed too..you must have good driving skills!!
