Due to the change in seasons, a paper route may be done in many different weather conditions. The worst of these that I have recently experienced would be one inch of ice underneath six inches of snow. Interestingly enough as I have previously mentioned, I have to complete my route no matter the weather condition or the danger that it might encompass. The difficulty in trying to drive a car that is not four wheel drive up an icy hill is frustrating and in the end disappointing. You will either give up and decide to walk up the hill, inevitably falling on your ass or refuse defeat and attempt it from a different route. Either way the attempt is made, the outcome is always the same.
Dispite the difficulty that comes with such a job, there are always times where some fun is bound to happen. Testing out the slickness of the icy road is just a simple pleasure that makes a paper route a little more interesting. With the understanding that safety is always in mind, gently slip slidding around on an icy road is very exciting. Testing small portions of the roads and parking lots is the place to do it, keeping in mind that there are no cars in sight.
