After shopping at one of the suburban malls last night, I stepped out into the snowy slippery parking lot. Although I was in the mall a half hour at most, I needed to brush of the snow and scrape the ice off my car. A beautiful cold wintry night to be sure.

As my car rumbled to life I was grateful for the seat heater and heated steering wheel. Two great inventions everyone needs to experience at least once.

While following the exit signs, I noticed a wide expanse of the parking lot totally empty with a fresh coating of snow. I couldn't resist. I turned into the pristine area and hit the gas while making a sharp right turn...then a left turn...then a right. You get the idea :)

Nothing like drifting in the snow.

I highly recommend it, it's good for the soul.
