The fun part is that they weren't trying to go to the gas station. The city grooms the roads here instead of clearing them. Our main business in the winter is oversnow recreation, snowmobiling and cross country skiing. The busiest road in town is a mess at the intersections and people try to stop after going too fast and just slowly slide into the pump. You rarely see tire chains here.A long time ago in a land far, far away while learning to drive in the frozen unpleasantries of the northeastern US, I was taken to an empty parking lot that was a sheet of ice with a partial covering of snow and was told to do donuts (on purpose!). It has helped me navigate many of life's challenging situations - including gas pumps!
