winter driving

Here are some of the side effects that may be from the long winter as well as how to adjust to being back around people.

Driving pretty much everywhere can be frustrating. Admittedly, driving in Twin Falls isn't nearly as bad as some places I have driven. That being said, there are still plenty of things to be frustrated with while winter driving in Twin Falls. Let me know if I missed any.

There is a little guilt when flying past someone, and a little rage on your part for them going slow, and for them at getting passed. What is the right thing to do?

Make sure to take your time each morning to scrape your windshield before getting behind the wheel.

With slower drivers and more sliding than usual, it can often bring out road rage, for those that don't want to be as cautious.

I passed a car this week with a pile of snow on the roof and a crumpled trunk.

The ice and slush and driving on the melting snow can pile up and back up in there and cause problems for your tires, car, and lead to other problems down the line.

For people new to the area that may not have experienced an Idaho winter yet, some adjustments and culture shocks are guaranteed to happen.

Winter is here and that means the roads are going to be sketchy. Depending on who you are and the vehicle you drive determines what that sketchiness means.

Contrary to what people may think, a snowplow is not like a bus with its stop sign out. You are allowed to pass one if you come up behind one but do so cautiously.

As Idaho enters into the winter season the roads will worsen and people new to the state will need to adjust as some have never driven on snow or ice before.

The Idaho Transportation Department has upgraded its traveler information site to check road conditions – just in time for winter.
