Ahhh, once we drove to Dallas in the middle of a snowstorm to go camping. It was awesome. I mean, other than Texas people not knowing how to drive in the snow. It was absolutely beautiful, but really cold…no heater. Great times.

My favorite winter road trip was the one my husband took me on to the ski resort in North Carolina.
My driving tip is STAY OFF THE ROADS when the weather is very bad. Too many drivers think that *they* can go where others fear to tread and end up having to be pulled out of a ditch.
Thanks for the contest.
My favorite was one we took to Running Springs many years ago. There was snow and intense fog and it was pretty scary getting up there, but we had a great time with family once we arrived.

Going back to school after the Christmas break I would try to follow the salt truck when I reached Indiana because it was the snow belt area and the roads were usually very slippery and snowy.
My winter tip is that I always carry small blankets in the car in case we get stranded and need to keep warm.
My roomate and I once went to Denver in November and it was an interesting trip to drive around in the mountains. kekagel(at)yahoo.com
