Finally going for my second driving lesson in a few minutes!

In the snow????

Why not, it would be great if everyone learnt how to drive in the snow

Yeah, but 2nd lesson?
I think it is actually above zero now, so no snow. But let's see what Windigo reports back

It's been raining yesterday afternoon, all the snow was washed away. It was a little slippery in some spots, but nothing major. However a snowstorm is predicted for tomorrow so we're not out of the woods yet.

I really enjoyed this lesson, I did every basic thing myself ( braking, starting, using the ignition, etc) and had only one major hiccup because I forgot to go off the round about at the right exit so blocked the road for everyone for a few seconds
The teacher said they noted improvement compared to last time so all is well.

I have a bucket of water under my desk.

Didn't want Windigo worrying before her lesson

I was gone a second after posting, so no worries. I wouldn't worry as long as I've got a teacher next to me anyway. Though I do get clammy hands the first 10 minutes of driving.
