Oh!
I've never seen snow in my life! 😔
Our average temperatures here are above 35 C/95 F! 🤐

@strawberryfieldsforever That's hot!

Snow can be dangerous. It can make the roads slippery.

A long time ago, when I was five years old, my Mom and I were driving back home from visiting my great grandmother. It was really late at night, and I fell asleep on the way back. We were driving in a blizzard.

I remember waking up as we were having a car accident where we slid off the road into a ditch. We were trapped. The snow stopped us from being able to get out and we were far away from any civilization.

Luckily, a van full of people with shovels showed up and dug us out. I don't remember if we drove the car home, but I do remember waking up suddenly and not understanding what was going on.

We definitely could've died, but we didn't!

If your car starts sliding, you pretty much just lose control of it, so it's important to drive really slow. Even driving in cities can be dangerous. It can also affect visibility in a snow storm.

I'm off to bed 😴👋.
