How terrible!

It had snowed a lot for two days till Saturday. Ten centimeters of snow fell in a day around my place. Ten centimeters of snow is a heavy snowfall in Tokyo. My place is not the central part of Tokyo Metropolis, though. It got hot yesterday but it was really cold last night. 
I had a terrible experience last night. My husband and I drove to have some pancakes at the Royal Host. Their pancakes are good and we sometimes want to have them immediately. It was 11:30 pm last night and it took about twenty minutes to drive there. Shortly after we left home, we saw the emergency lights of a police car. It was a skid accident. We noticed that the road was icy in places. Till then we drove at a normal speed, but we slowed down  after that. Then how terrible! We came across two more skid accidents before we reached the restaurant. Oh, my God! We shouldn’t have driven on such a night. Anyway we got there safely, so we tasted midnight pancakes. 
On our way home, we drove slowly and carefully. Then how unbelievable! We came across three violent skid accidents again. With two of them, cars had crashed into the central divider, and another car flew off the road and turned over. How dangerous they were! 

Today’s lesson: Never drive when it's really cold at midnight. 
To begin with, having pancakes at midnight is wrong!

    We don't have any de-icer , salt or road crews here. That's too dangerous.
    I can't believe our family is still here without
    any accident in Michigan.(actually,we alomost died twice ).Please behave yourself.

  2. Yeah, I see. I'll never drive at cold night.
    It's get hot today but the weatherman said it would get really cold tonight.
    I'm going to be good at home.
