I almost died.

First, the train guards came down, then they went up so I moved forward adn the freaking train was like 40 feet away! I pressed the gas all I could and then when I was out of harms way I tried to break and my car slid and did like 3 turns.

How on earth did you manage to generate enough speed, in snowfall nonetheless, in such a short time to cause several 360 degree spins?

It is still coming down. I just got in from a trip for booze. I think we have gotten 2 inches in the last 5 hours.

It's not that I had a lot of speed, it's that my traction sucks.
I got a ghetto car with like 4 different types of tires on it.

Ive driven as quick as I can in the deep snow and purposely yanked the e-brake to try and get as many spins as possible, but Ive never been able to eke out 3 complete spins. I have no idea how you managed that.

In any case, glad youre ok, that had to have been scary.
