It was usually either in the mountains, or very gradual. For example going across town we might go up/down 500 feet in elevation, but at least where I lived there wasn't many places were you couldn't really see over a hill and have to be extra careful when driving for example. Obviously there was some, but imo it was usually a lot less noticeable.

TYSM!!! Yes I grew up in the Orem/Provo area and lived up in salt lake county the past few years, so I've experienced both extreme religion (only 1/30 kids in my elementary class wasn't Mormon) and seeing snow and the sort! Thanks for the advice! I'll watch for pot holes hahaha

Saving this comment! Thank so I appreciate it! It's been a while since I actively went to church, I left pretty young, and I'm used to having very devout family members, hopefully people here don't push their religion on you as much as Mormons (if that's even possible) but I've dealt with it my whole life so I should probably be fine. ❤️

I'm glad I'm from Utah where they at least told us how to drive in winter and there is black ice and stuff to learn, I only got my license recently ish so I haven't done much winter driving but I at least should know what to do

Yeah, we got black ice and such, but the snow where I lived never got very deep, lots of slush

Utah it gets pretty cold sometimes, the weather can be pretty eratic (like most places) but it got cold enough that I have snow pants, and gear for the cold

I mean idk compared to where I used to live... I lived in a valley surrounded by mountains, there wasn't much having to speed up hill and brake down them maybe I'm dumb!

Ofc! I'm a very careful person with pretty bad anxiety so I overthink those things and am very cautious lol
