Same here brother. I love snow still at 54!! Unfortunately, I do have to drive in it and I'm most worried about all the other drivers in the road.Quote:

Yea you have a great truck it seems and not totally alien to ice. I've always started out hitting the gas slightly to get an idea as to what your dealing with. Traffic complicate as most accidents seem to be rear enders cuz folks not keeping enough distance andQuote:

Yea. If everyone would just slow waaayyy down and pay close attention then things would be much better. But people gonna people. There will be people driving tonight like it's sunny and 70 degrees out. Until they hit a curve or run up on another accident in the road.Quote:

Got to know George Kline while living there. We'd bump into one another on occasion and BS Some. Elvis stories & Shit.
That's awesome man. Several years ago in the snowpocalypse in the Hattiesburg area, I drove an FJ cruiser with lift kit and mud grips. Wife was driving all over in her BMW like nothing. I backed out the garage and proceeded to slide down the driveway into my wife's azaleas. I promptly shifted into 4 wheel drive and crawled back into the garage. That's when I realized that driving was simple. It was stopping that was the problem!!!Quote:

Oh and I got an alert on phone after it had passed as well. Not the first time that has happened. Still have to rely on your own ears.
To be honest that post made me google today and I'm not convinced reliance on windmills was the main cause of the 6 days of suffering me and my family went thru. Equipment failure due to prolonged Artic Air combined with being unprepared for the huge spike in natural gas demand and logistics of getting shit where it needed to be. I need maybe to read up more and I'm a drill baby drill guy but not seeing windmills as the main culprit that screwed me HARD.Quote:

They should've had heaters on the wind turbines. It gets cold in Texas, just about the entire state.Quote:
