For Us "Winter Folk"

[dReWpY]

that is when one needs to bring back the squishable rule of riding:

if something is squishable, run it over

if something is not squishable, then dodge it

examples:

turkey- squishable, run over it
minivan- not squishable, avoid like hell
fat lady in moo moo- not squishable, but you could prolly have a safe impact, minds well hit it
bag of decoys- semi squishable, minds well hit it
squirrel- squishable
frog- squishable
