Driving on snow covered roads

[robert shimanek]

Chuck:

I got caught in a hail storm. Interstate 75 was covered with marble size
hail. The wheel got on top of the hail and I had no steering---the coach
started to head for the ditch. You talk about feeling helpless--what a
scarey situation. The front wheels finally came in contact with bare road
close to the edge and I regained control. Whew!! what a relief. I don't
advise driving in snow covered roads unless you can go slow.
