Snow

Snow fell this month. It was very dangerous because most people in this area don't have much experience driving on ice and snow. One word that came up in the news was バンドアイス. I think this is called "black ice" in the States. We had snow a few weeks ago, but it "didn't stick" (あつめなかった). But this time, we saw big, puffy, powdery snow. Many schools and businesses were closed or delayed. It was beautiful, but now it's melting and turning to "slush" (泥). We had to drive in it that night. The roads were very tricky. There were many accidents because some drivers "tailgated" (テールゲート). Y'all be careful!
