Any good winter driving stories yet??
Any "driving in a snowstorm" stories to talk about yet? Last Thursday we were east of Prince Albert, the road was a sheet of glare ice, it was -4 deg, and it was raining so hard the wipers could barely keep up. My new studded tires were much appreciated in those conditions.

I'm in Edmonton working, it was a brutally slow ride from work to the hotel yesterday. Saw about 9 accidents, only one bad one, a kia vs. a 1ton dodge head on. I think the dodge had a scratch

Came through a blizzard in the Pine Pass tonight. 700km of driving today. About 30m visibility, no plows and 10cm of snow on the road, jeep in 4hi and took it easy at 60km/h. 3rd winter on my Duratracs. I have them at 28 psi. Got home safely and for that I am thankful!

eh... nothing really great yet
but Loveland Pass here in Colorado was closed most of Sunday so we had a nice detour through Keystone/Dillon back through the Eisenhower Tunnel to get back to Denver. Lot's of ice and windy conditions made for a fun trip down the mountain. Shocking no wrecks to report so that's a good thing. Saw a few elk so I guess that's a highlight and my wife agreed that the stock mud terrains are a little sketchy so I've got the greenlight to go tire shopping!
Bring on the snow! I for one am ready for it.
