Well, Minotโฆ the rumors are true.
Mother Nature just dropped her first album of the season, and early reviews say this yearโs snow/ice mix is expected to be about 12% slipperier than last yearโs version. Consider it the remastered edition.
And with that, we present:
โsNOW Thatโs What I Call Music: Winter Hits โ Vol. 1โ
featuring timeless tracks like:
๐ต I Remember My First Time Driving on Snow
๐ต If People Would Just Slow Down (Radio Edit)
๐ต Stop, Drop, andโฆ Please Stop
๐ต Black Ice Surprise (Unintentional Remix)
Before the roads start playing these chart-toppers on repeat, a few reminders:
โ๏ธ Leave a little earlier. Showing up on time > unintentionally starring in a winter stunt show.
โ๏ธ Slow down. Yes, itโs on the playlist twice. It deserves it.
โ๏ธ Check your tires. Got tread? Great. No tread? Call your favorite tire shop (still no free ads).
โ๏ธ Find your ice scraper. The real one. Not the gift card in your wallet with 97 cents on it that youโve been carrying around for two years.
โ๏ธ Clear ALL your windows. Your car should not resemble a snow-covered submarine.
โ๏ธ Turn on your headlights. Even during the day. Think of it as your โplease donโt hit meโ beacon.
โ๏ธ Give extra distance. If you follow at three seconds in July, make it seven (or more) in December. A full travel-sized eternity is safest.
โ๏ธ Turn down the radio. Extremely unofficial research says every notch you lower boosts winter driving skills by 10%. (Trust us. It feels true.)
Most importantlyโ
Be patient, be safe, and remember: for some drivers, this is their debut album of winter commuting. Weโve all had one. It wasnโt Grammy-worthy.
Stay safe, Minot.
