I cracked my car up tonight. Lesson OTD: After a blizzard dumps 2 feet in your area, drive in the middle lane of a three lane highway even if the highway is nice and clear. You may be tempted to drive in the fast (3rd land) to pass a tractor trailor but don't because you could end up like me: Very, very lucky but with one smashed up car. I was in the 3rd lane -- knowing that the lane was smaller due to snow on the side I was looking to move to the middle lane -- hit a huge block of fallen snow lost control of the car, veered from the 3rd to the 1st lane, hit the underbelly of a trailor part of a tractor-trailor at 50 MPH, then start spinning uncontrolablely and have no f*cking clue where you are going, go into the middle dip between the East and West bound lanes and smash into a tree. As I lost control and saw I was going to hit the underbelly of the trailor I thought, "This is it. Oh my God, I am going to die." However, the only harm I sustained was a slight bump on the head when the car it the tree but the 2 feet of snow in the median was already slowing it down, so essentially I suffered no harm. My glasses came flying off and I lost the eye pads but they can be replaced. The nice, newish (to me) car suffered great damage and my insurance will raise but that is life (which I am glad I still have).
Not checked for spelling or grammar but I am going to bed to rest, so Oh well!
