The anticipation is worse than the actual driving for me. I worry I'll get in an accident. I could be a good driver but what about the other guys?

Go around!"

No front wheel drive. I don't want anyone around me! I drive like you, hankster!

Right. They said the roads are slushy because it's close to freezing, but will get worse in the late afternoon. Hopefully I'll be home by 3 p.m.

I don't think that it's necessarily an emotion/rational mind thing. Your emotion mind could also be amping up worry about driving in the snow.

True. Thank you!

Yes, it's in the city and mostly on main roads that should be clear. But last week I drove in the snow and that main road wasn't plowed and it was blowing so I couldn't see! It's more suburbany though it's technically the city. Not the country.
