People Who Forgot How to Drive the Second Snow Fell
The first snow doesn’t cause accidents. It creates confidence. Suddenly, everyone remembers driving “just fine last winter,” even though the car has bald tires and the heater barely negotiates with reality.
Gravity follows shortly after. Lanes fade. Hills become opinions. Cars begin sliding politely, then emotionally. Brake pedals turn into wishful thinking. Somewhere, a sedan commits to a turn with no exit strategy, fully trusting muscle memory from another decade.
What follows isn’t spectacle or drama, just quiet surrender. Steering wheels spin, momentum wins arguments, parking lots turn into ice rinks, and winter politely reminds everyone who is actually in charge.
