he is not hiding from snowflakes. The CHP closes the passes these days when
it snows excessively. Mostly because of people driving Japanese 4x4
minitrucks. Use to be, before all the 4x4's that they put on chain controls
and people installed chains and drove the 25 mph speed limit. Now the young
mostly in the 4x4's and the ignorant figure they can drive 70 mph because
they have a 4x4. Cause really bad crashes. And hurt some poor ******* that
is driving the 25 mph speed limit. So they now close the roads and then run
escorted caravans.

I put a 50cal can in the truck 3 weeks ago, with a full set of tire
chains in it.

I grew up on Michigans Upper Penninsula..average snow fall... 212
inches. Its not new to me.

I once drove Whitehorse Pass with 10,000lbs of Nitromon boosters in the
back of the flatbed, in 12" of fresh snow on the road with visibility
less than 300 feet. That was a very long drive, from 9pm-6am.....

Im somewhat..somewhat familiar with driving in snow, sleet, slush etc
etc. Been doing it for most of 41 yrs. Shrug

Too bad Too Many Fools is trapped in his mommas basement, driving that
little pong around the B&W tv screen.
