METROliving - Winter Driving - 2/13/2007 Video

For those of you that have moved out of the Northeastern Ohio area, and miss winter driving...this one's for you!

I shot this video on the way home from work...driving down Route 11 from Lisbon, Ohio to Warren, Ohio. In this footage, you will see the Rt. 224 exit, some in between, and a bit of Downtown Girard. The driving conditions were terrible...and I was fiddling around with a camera. Luckily, all was good, as I am a very cautious driver.

Like the music tracks? The first is "Tahoe Snow" by the Captain and Tennille (available at amazon.com), and the second is "Warm This Winter" by Connie Francis.

And everybody ...
And everybody wonders why I retired to Central America where its always green and doesn't snow. A coldest winter night only in the 50's. I was a trucker for 30 years and I remember all too well how nasty winter can be.? I certainly don't miss that. Did I mention my house doesn't need a furnace?

that was a bad ...
that was a bad storm! i flew home from cape coral? florida in it, took 2 hours to get from the akron airport to girard! and how about the gas price, 2.19 a gallon, i could go for that again lol

Being a Liberty Twp. resident all my life, I am well accustomed to this. I remember this day. I was going to YSU and they cancelled a day and a half of classes, the first time in history! I would have just stayed on Rt. 11 north and got on 82 to get to Warren. But, thanks for going through Girard, my town!?

Hey that was GREAT....well done. I am from Girard, I used to live on Churchill? Rd...that brought back many memories......I am now living in San Francisco (not gay) I have to say, I don't miss the snow and cold weather. I would like maybe one day of it! Good job with the music as well. Craig

I was born and raised there. I left in 1977. I hated the weather, but at least people knew how to drive in? it. Here in Paris, France, a little rain and people DIE. Sad!

As a kid I played on Highway 11 near? Rt 62 as it was being constructed. I see you understand how to drive in the snow - just keep your wheels pointed straight ahead and no sudden movements.
