Actually, the other driver was pretty smart. He saw me crossing the center lane while the car was rotating and accelerated (best he could in the snow). That move avoided a head-on impact. He was also very calm and cool about the whole thing. For some strange reason, he seemed to think that his premiums might go up if he talks to his insurance companyt even though the accident was clearly my fault. With that in mind, I told him to take the car to a reputable body shop and I would pay the cost out of my own pocket for a proper estimate. From there, we could decide what made the most sense. I am thinking that I will be writing him a check and “calling it a day”. I figure I screwed up so the least I can do is try to accommodate the guy’s preference. We’ll see. ---

Saw an SUV slide sideways yesterday on McKnight at the entrance to Ross Park Mall intersection…saw a bunch cars stuck on various hills in Ross/McCandless as well. Waiting for my drive in to work at 1PM today. It doesn’t look as bad out, but I’m hearing it’s actually worse. ---

I got studded snow tires onj the front of my eagle, just some worn all seasons on the rear. I’m good except sharp corners in town, on the hwy I’m fine. The front doesn’t slide at all. Can’t beat the price either 225/60/16s and were free cause someone gave them to out shop since they sold the car they were on. ---
