Ice Storm
It was December 2019. My mother and I lived in Kansas City, Mo and love everything about the city except for snow and ice storms. We had grown up in south west Kansas and we weren’t very fond about the loads of snow especially since we lived in the country. We would always get stuck on dirty road due to being muddy or covered with snow and couldn’t really see where the road was at.
We had an ice storm, my mom and I decided to go to the stores. On our way to a store located in Grandview, Mo which was about 30 minutes away from the house. As we were driving everything seemed fine the road didn’t seem bad nor did we notice any ice on the roads. So, we kept on driving and got on the highway and still the roads were not bad. Until we went down a hill and our car spun out of control into the middle of the whole highway. Everything got quiet and seemed like we were going in slow motion for a while until we came to a complete stop. Once we stopped and realized we were facing the traffic that had stop while we had lost control. I had to think fast and turn the car around to back in the traffic lane.
As we were driving, we were trying to comprehend what had just happened, but we kept driving so we could get to the store as soon as possible. After 15 minutes of the last incident we came across another patch of black ice. You couldn’t see the ice but you sure could feel it and we were going down a hill again. “OMG” was all I was saying over and over until we finally made it down the hill. At this point we were regretting going out and wish we were home, but we made it to the store. We got what we went for to the store and decided to head back home. On our way back home was not bad at all but I decided to drive a lot slower took longer and we made it home safe and sound and didn’t crash the car.
