    We should reframe climate change as an attack on winter recreational activities. Then Republicans might actually give a shit about it.

    “Oh, I’m not worried about climate change. But I’m very concerned about the impending demise of snowmobiling.”

      Sadly it still doesn’t matter when people believe that God guarantees four seasons in the Bible

          I know…It’s not nice to laugh, but the unexpected hostility caught me just right.

    Only ever done this in an empty parking lot after a few inches of fresh snow

      But snow isn’t particularly slippery, the only way that works properly is if there’s a layer of ice underneath. So you need a warmish day with some rain, followed by a bitter cold night, followed by a dusting of fresh snow to really lose traction in a parking lot.

    Am from NE Ohio and have never heard people driving on frozen lakes except to ice fish. We would do donuts in large parking lots. Bonus if you do it with the windows down. Bumper skiing was another one. Ah to be young and insane again…
