Snow - no worries

I'm taking vacation for a few days. My mother-in-law doesn't drive, so she planned to take a "handy-bus" Friday morning to Lincoln where we were to pick her up. Overnight on Thursday, we had about two inches of snow. It was near zero degrees overnight, so the snow wasn't going to melt the next day. Normally that would make me a little nervous. The snow packs down on the streets and highways and makes them slick enough to be a concern. However, now that I have 4-wheel drive on my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I don't get near as nervous about snow. It was an adventure driving the snow packed city streets, and the somewhat snow covered highways. With the added security of anti-lock brakes, it was no problem. The scenery was beautiful with the newly fallen snow. And I enjoyed it much more since I wasn't so concerned about the road conditions. I just wish I had not washed my Jeep the day before. After driving in Lincoln, and later in Omaha, my maroon jeep is almost white from the liquid deicer they applied to the city streets. Oh well, I guess that's what keeps the Car Wash businesses in business.
