Marilyn and I were coming home from town a couple years ago doing 60 on nice dry pavement, not a hint of blowing snow . We went past a farm grove and that is wind line was and it was blowing freezing snow across the road. I started drifting toward the ditch, there was nothing I could do but go along for the ride. I let up on the gas a little and just coasted drifting away toward the ditch. We were to the point where all I could see was the fence on the other side of the ditch and the van caught just enough traction to get me back in line on the road. The ditch was deep too and Marilyn was hyperventilating like crazy but we got through it.
Some people from the south wonder why we northerners still go in the ditch and slide into things on the ice even though we are supposed to know how to drive on ice. Well, some of us don't. Usually it happens when we are caught by surprise. The road is just fine and in a second we are on ice going downhill or a wind is blowing us off the road. In my neck of the woods the majority of the vehicles in the ditch are driven by people who have moved up from south of a certain border. They are dangerous!
