Challenge Word: Drift
Happy Birthday to Wolfpack pride. Even the times between hunts can be challenging if you're a Winchester.
Spoilers: None, but a Winter Storm Warning ;-)

Slip Sliding Away
by Swellison
Sam gripped the Impala's steering wheel, white-knuckled. They were on I-40, near Amarillo, in a raging snowstorm. This was Texas for Pete's sake, too far south for blizzards, right?
Wrong.
The headlights reflected opaque whiteness as a curtain of snow drifted across the highway. The wind smacked into the Impala's rear causing her to skid on hidden ice.
"Turn in the direction of the skid," Dean instructed, deliberately calm.
Sam cranked the wheel and the Impala pirouetted twice, veering off to the shoulder, halting inches before a four-foot snowdrift.
"Nice driving, Sammy. Okay if I take over?"
Sam nodded gratefully.
