Heed the Warnings
If your location is under a winter storm advisory, do not leave the safety of your house unless absolutely necessary. When I was in college, I did not live on campus but drove to class. We had an ice storm warning, but I had exams and was determined not to miss them. On my drive to school, at a stop light, I attempted to brake on black ice I could not see, and my four-wheel drive Jeep Wagoneer lost control and careened across five lanes and onto a median. It stopped just before I hit utility poles. I was amazingly lucky traffic was light, and my vehicle did not hit anyone. I was able to extricate the SUV from the little traffic island it landed on, arrived at campus, and found classes had been canceled due to the weather. I risked my life, health, and safety for NOTHING. Don't be as dumb as I was at eighteen. During this ice and snow, stay home!
