Texan+Snow=Last night

Howdy fellas,

Yesterday was the first snow of the season up here where I am currently stationed (Sturgeon Bay, WI). And here is my story; I go through the stop light doing 15 under the posted speed (45 MPH) being careful. I attempt to change into the left lane, in the process i hint some unplowed snow and lose it. I'm now sliding at about 75 degrees facing the right median. When i try to correct, it just got worse not im heading straight for the fence of our local hardware store. Below is what happen when Betsy (my 2004 F150 Heritage) and i took on the fence. this is ony 50% of the damage. I just thought I'd share for entertainment or may help someone get through a rough day. Well TGIF and have an awesome weekend.

Boomer

Your tires couldn't handle the snow. Glad to see the damage was minor and all is ok.

No the tires were crap, figures it happen the day before my schedule to get my new tires mounted. I appreciate it.
