Heh... no time to panic, really. Although in the one I described to Rosie above, it seemed like I had several seconds when the car was completely out of my control, and I was just sitting waiting for the impact. I remember thinking "This is gonna hurt," but it didn't. Just a big "FLOOOF!" and snow flying everywhere, and then I was sitting there thinking, "Is that it?"

Saruman, is that all you can conjure?!!

We all know that he can conjure a lot more;-) Wish he couldn't, though.

ROTFL!! Had a similar situation about 8 yrs. ago. Clare and Joseph were little and sitting in the back seat of our old 'land yacht', a big GMC 2500 conversion van. I was going about 30 mph and had started up a slight incline when the van just started turning all on its own!! I held the wheel loosely, knowing not to jerk it, and just watched the guardrail on the left side of the road loom into view as the van did a 180! Ended up solid in the oncoming lane, so I just headed back the way we had come! Shook for a good few minutes after that episode.

I try to stay in when it's icy, but with Joseph back in school, I'll have to get out some mornings when it's slushy. His school tends to either have a two hour delay, or cancel altogether when the snow and ice are bad. There are boys at the school who drive in each day from 40-50 miles away, and the school doesn't want them on the road under hazardous conditions.
