Hi mamei,

I understand your sentence. You are saying it quite well. To make it even better you could change it a little bit:

The other day the roads were cleaned up and it was not snowing, so I didn't use car chains when I went snowboarding.

Here is one more way to say it:

When I went snowboarding the other day the roads were clear so I didn't need tire chains.

I think you are doing very well with English!

I hope this is helpful. Smile

You are very welcome Asami!

You are wise to ask for help here. There are many good teachers who will do their best to advise you. You are doing so well it will not be long before you will speak without even thinking about it! Smile

Please be careful not to break a leg snowboarding! Is it very dangerous?
