As another person who got a crash course -- with no damaging accidents but plenty of close calls -- on driving legally as a minor without supervision in such conditions around the area at this time of the year, there were a lot of people who had a lot of love for the snow banks, especially the ones that piled up next to stop signs (even more than those next to traffic lights) as they gave some love back plenty of times.

If you want some real fun, drive in the middle of the night in the area on mostly empty local roads just after or during a fresh snowfall and seek out some slip and slide action, especially on approach to or while at intersections of low speed roads in flat areas. Just make sure to be well-insured, in case you get the wrong kind of love from the objects physically encountered up close and personally.
