Bad weather coming, be careful!

Maine is about to get hit with a 2-3 storm combination over the next week that could test the patience of everyone.  Above all, be careful.  Like my driving instructor used to tell me when I was 15 years old, you are never in a hurry to get in an accident.  It is funny to this day that I remember he said those words.

Here are a few accident videos, mostly on ice, as a reminder that we all take it slow.  I don’t believe anyone was hurt in any of them, which is why I am posting them.

1) The play by play here amuses me for some reason.  I am not sure where it is but he sounds like he could be in the movie Fargo.

2) Jumping out of a car seems more dangerous to me than bracing for impact.  That could be just me though.

3) This video was taken in Portland, Oregon.  Obviously something has gone wrong with their salting/sanding efforts.
