Snow Covered the Highways

---

In my car, the Audi Navigation Plus showed the Traffic Monitoring Control system. I was surprised to hear the navigation system warning me about traffic congestion near downtown Zurich. It directed me to an alternative, less crowded route. While I was in Zurich I heard on the radio that a snowstorm was expected later that night in the Black Forest area. This was the quattro weather that I was hoping to experience. Quickly I planned my route to go to Baden-Baden from Zurich via Freudenstadt. Since I wanted to have a winter driving experience, I made sure that my route would go through the meandering Black Forest roads. The roads all the way to Baden-Baden were covered with snow and sleet. The outside temperature fluctuated between -3 to +1.5 Celsius.

I was so glad that I picked the right car for this situation. There was very little drama, except for the scenery flying past the window like the view from the Millennium Falcon reaching the speed of light, and the horizon apparently deciding to come and meet the car halfway. This car gathered momentum so quickly that looking at the speedometer became a shocking experience. This was amazing journey for driving in winter.
