That's what snow tires, chains, and caution are for. Only If Herman Munster is driving. ;) The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's

High ski season 1979 some of the ski lifts in Colorado had to close - not because of a lack of snow - because of a surfiet. The lifts were burried. The roads to the lodges were unplowable because the banks were higher than the blowers could throw... Its amazing what us Upsate New Yorkers can drive in. Ive actually plowed snow with the front end going to work or home. The trick is go slow, dont start fast or try to stop fast. Dont follow another car to close either. Ive been driving since 1968 and have only been in the ditch twice beacuse I was a young stupid idiot. Got rear ended at a stop light once. Saw the car skidding in my rear view mirror.Told my ride to hang on were gonna get whacked. I did total my truck in 87 though. Hit a pacth of black ice only 100 feet from my driveway. Ran up the guardrail and slid into a telephone pole. Black ice still scares me.  [/quote]Old James ID: 1302850 · |

I drove a truck for a while for a living and unloaded was at times a chore to hold it steady. But when I drove for the county I had 10 tons of stone on the back and chains plowing it was never an issue. LOL ID: 1302886 · |

Driving in a big snow storm or heavy fog in CA is like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane without a parachute. ID: 1302911 · |

Is that regular or tule fog? It was on I-5 in CA just coming out of mountains of LA heading to Stockton, I never seen a fog so thick in my life. I got to collinga (sp?) and had to give up. Pulling a trailer on my car to boot. Got a motel but the next morning it wasn't really much better. ID: 1302956 · |

Yes that our lovely Tule Fog. Yeah the 5 in the CV is fairly notorious for accidents in the fog, LA lately has had fog come in from offshore... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's

No snow here yet. Freezing temperatures at night and around 4°C at daytime. Lots of rain but strangely no ice, not even at night. Only snow here is on top of my head and only requires a barber. LOL ID: 1303221 · |

Far too warm over here. All I can see is a can of beer. Never mind, this I can, at least, post I hope to start a modified host. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues
