As I was driving back home from visiting family in Noxon, Montana, it was a very sunny and pleasant drive in the mountains of Western Montana. But little did I know that shortly after I pass Missoula there would be an awful howling snow storm! The kind that is so white that it blinds your eyes if you stare into it for too long. The storm brought back warm memories of summer in Montana. Memories of driving on nice roads. When I was driving in that storm, the roads were ice covered the majority of my 600 miles home! The roads were so bad that there were semi trucks all over the ditch, that had slid off the icy interstate. But me, white knuckled, and strained eyes, I kept driving; no faster than 55 mph. There is a night and day difference between driving in the winter in Montana and driving in the summer. For instance, in the summer you have to watch out for a lot more wildlife than in the winter, because it is much warmer so therefore they are more likely to travel. And there's other things as well, such as, for people like me who drive a pickup truck we have to put weight in our beds in the winter for driving on icy roads. The reason for that is, if we didn't have at least 400 pounds in the …show more content…
But there is beauty both winter and summer driving. In the summer you can enjoy the colors of spring and fall, winter you can enjoy the frost bitten trees and the frozen crystal glazed rivers. But, of course the important part is being a safe driver. If you take precautions you should be fine. I enjoy driving both conditions. I have seen accidents more numerous in winter, but when you are in an accident, it can be just as dangerous in the summer as in the winter, just not as likely. The main thing to remember is to, drive with caution, use common since, keep your eyes on the road, know your surroundings, and never use electronics while you
The traveler is advised not to make this trip with the lack of his inexperience in the Yukon due to the weather, the incoming storm, and its advisories. With the subzero freezing cold temperatures that came with the storm. “Fifty degrees below zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of mittens, ear flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks.”(561)
Driving in winter is better than driving in the summer, because you get most windy. Summer is better to drive and because you don't have to worry about the rain taking over your car.

The similarities and differences between driving in the winter and in summer are numerous. Cars get us from point A to point B, and shelter us from the elements while we do so. Some cars may do a better job at sheltering us comfortably than others when environmental factors come in to play.

In Chicago winter is usually the most dreaded time of the year. It rains,snows, and is just freezing. In january 1985 it was -27℉. In order to go outside in the months of December, January, and February you have to wear a hat, gloves,a scarf and multiple layers of clothes in order to stay warm. Almost every morning you would have to wipe off the snow, frost, and ice off your car. The are also lots of danger because like black ice. Ice is not visible on most roads, this can cause cars to slip. In the winter it get a lot darker a lot earlier. At 4:30 it's close to complete darkness. Winter in some parts of the world is 70℉ but not in Chicago.
It had been raining all of yesterday, and there was still an occasional drizzle now and then. The world looked rather two-dimensional, strange and different. During the car ride, I listened to my music the entire time, the one thing that keeps me from car sickness, and looked out the window. I had never seen anything like it before. Flat land, as far as the eye could see. No houses, fields, or anything but short grass. Combined with the flat gray quality of the sky, the view was rather surreal, a little bit like being on the moon. Sometime after 5 pm, we crossed the Illinois-Wisconsin state line, which was a special moment for me, my first time being over the state border in a little under ten years. The scenery got a little strange again, because we had just got out of the extremely urban area of Wisconsin, because that is our “down south.” But we were now in Illinois’ “up north” area, which consisted of acres of pine forests, dotted with an abundance of biker bars and boat rental
Dave started walking home. The winter was the worst time of the year for him. He had tons of paper work, and not enough light to work with. The generator he was able to afford could only power a small wattage of lights and it simply was not enough to work with. My eyes are already bad enough, he thought as he pulled off his glasses to clean the snow from the lenses. Dave readjusted his hat to better cover his face and slid the bifocals back on his nose. Snow crunched under his feet as he trudged home. It was a particularly dead night and not even the moon dared to show his face. He had no car's headlights to light his path. All he had was the occasional street lamp, ...
When the temperature is in the nineties, the black asphalt of the road can reach 150 degrees. This is why most tire blowouts occur during the summer months. Unlike the obvious dangers of winter driving on slippery roads, tire blowouts take motorists by surprise and often result in loss of control of their cars.
Snow is a concept that only a few people really know about. It seems like most people hate snow with a burning passion. However, the true northerners praise every day that it snows; mostly because it does not happen a lot. At one point everyone that participates in a snow sport has to hope that it will snow every winter. Unfortunately, our hopes and dreams do not always come true. That was why snowmaking was developed in the 1980s and has been upgraded every year so maximum snow production is possible. The first reason was to fill in the gaps that Mother Nature left out. However, now the amount of snow we receive is drastically less than what it used to be. Instead of making snow to fill in the gaps, we have to make most of the snow we ski
"Spring in Utah can be dramatic with clouds and a quick rainstorm or snow flurry one moment, and warm sunshine in the next. Spring is one of the most popular in Utah seasons because you can ski and golf on the same day and the weather in Utah's national parks is perfect. There is a fresh coat for skiing plus fours (the score) for golfing. Summer in Utah is outdoors all the time, warm days and nights.

Driving in the summer is so much safer and enjoyable than driving in the winter. When driving in the summer you can actually enjoy the scenery. Driving in the winter there isn't much scenery to enjoy. In my opinion driving in summer is way more safer than driving in winter, because of the harsh climate that occurs in winter. In the winter you have to deal with driving in freezing temperatures and icy rodes that make it harder to control your car.
Driving is an art that most people learn to master throughout their life. People who live in versatile climate areas, such as Wisconsin, get the pleasure of learning how to drive in various types of weather. Driving in the summer can be very different compared to driving in the winter. I prefer driving in the summer the most due to the calmness of weather. Driving in the winter is stressful.
The biggest difference between summer and winter is the climate. One of the main attractions of summer is the warm weather. I like being outside on a bright sunny day, and letting the sun warm my body. I also like that we get an occasional thunder storm. The excitement fills the air when I see the thunder clouds rolling in. The sound of thunder, and the lighting shows that come from the storms are fascinating. On the other hand winter i...
The snow that was predicted to be several inches by the end of the weekend quickly piled up to around eight inches by that evening. At times, the snow was falling so heavily you could hardly see the streetlights that glistened like beacons in a sea of snow. With the landscape draped in white, the trees hangi...
Bad road surfaces, weather conditions, vehicles conditions should be taken into consideration too. Drivers main factor that contribute to accidents beside reckless driving is road conditions One can observe the negative side of bad conditioned roads especially when the weather is bad. A poorly designed roadway, intersection, or means of controlling traffic can at times cause or contribute to an accident. Poorly placed and poorly designed road signs or barriers can cause unnecessary injury when vehicles collide with them. At times, such defects will result in liability by the governmental agency responsible for the design and maintenance of the roadway, although governmental immunity may apply. If the weather is rainy or snowy, the vehicles could easily slip on the road.. There is a less chance for the driver to spot the hazard that is because of bad road conditions until his or her car starts to slide out of control If the weather is rainy or snowy, the vehicles could easily slip on the road. This is why it is highly recommended for the driver to check on their vehicle before starting a long journey.

Thus, eventhough the road condition is bad having a well serviced vehicle
