Want to see me almost get a new car?

Well, here you go, then!

Been having fun in the snow. This almost ended the good times...

wow, close call. bad on the guy behind the wheel of the plow for not stopping at the roadway.

It seems that plow drivers follow their own set of road rules in MD too.

The "I must be the only vehicle on the road" rule. Yep. This genius was plowing a driveway for a house.

I might have peed a little. But only a little. The 3 foot deep ditch would have stopped me if he got me. Or the trees.

No harm, no foul. I don't see the issue.

And do you really run around with a camera on the outside of your car?

Chance. Fate. Whatever you want to call it, you were on the winning side this time.

I've just been doing my morning news reading, checking up on the storms in the East.

In this article, a fella managed to avoid hitting and being hit by countless other vehicles (photos, video):

In the video, there's a lady who didn't get hit either, and her plans were to go home to a hot bath and a cold martini. LOL.

Another story on same incident with more photos:

One father/son pair started playing ball hockey in the middle of it (in photo gallery). Not too many times you can play hockey on the turnpike.

Prepare the best you can. Be aware of patterns, like people most likely clearing out driveways after big storm. Or icy roads. Be careful. And hope you're on the winning side.

Did you miss the plow? I did. Good thing, too. That''s why I said almost. The lens on the GoPro is pretty wide of an angle. That plow got very close...

And sometimes I do run around with a camera on the outside of my car. Don't you? Maybe you should. Sometimes I suction cup it to the dash and run around with it inside the car, instead. Good times.


Seriously, I figured I'd get some footage of the local roads and snow to send to family back in Florida. I had a friend ask me if I went back and yelled at him or her. Of course not! Like you said, no harm no foul. Odds are I scared the crap out of them, too.

I saw the lines of snow on the road the plow left from an earlier run out, so I slowed down. If I slowed down a little more, he would have got me. I'll take a close call over an insurance claim anytime!
