It was late November of 2004 when I got here in the United States and seen the snow in the Rocky Mountains. We lived in Colorado way back then. I was truly curious when all these trucks had to stop on the side before going through a steep pass. I asked my hubby why is that so? He said that the truck drivers had to put tire chains to prevent the truck tires from slipping on the slick snowy roads, thus avoiding accidents. I was like, “Oh, how cool is that!”
I really find it so interesting how these tire chains work. It is just amazing for me since I came from the tropics, where there is no snow and definitely no tire chains for vehicles. How much more, those easy to install ones where you can put them in less than 2 minutes per tire and cost less $100. How really cool is that!
Speaking of which, I truly miss Colorado and the snow but definitely not the cold. I miss the white fluffy stuff and the Winter Wonderland. Hopefully, we can visit my folks there this Christmas. Yeah, I miss White Christmas, too. And window shopping in Aspen, snow mobiling, tubing and sledding, the smell of pine cones, ski resorts hopping and of course, the tire chains marks on the snowy roads. Have a good one all!
