As the Holiday season approaches, we Midwesterners must begin to prepare our minds, bodies and souls for the chilling temperatures soon to come. With those temperatures comes snow. Although snow can create beautiful scenery to look at while you are driving, the conditions it creates for driving is another story entirely.
