    Only time I had to park it this winter was waiting for ice to thaw on I-10 in Louisiana and again in Florida. Go figure.

    Geeze,I had to chain up and go down cabbage hill on snow my third week as a driver.
    I've had to thrown iron at least once or twice every Winter since this being my fourth.

    This storm so far has left over 3 foot of snow at upper elevations, all ski resorts from Donner to Mammoth are reporting over 2 feet of fresh snow, the next two days are supposed to bring an additional 1-3 feet for levels above 4000', and tonight snow level on the west slope is expected to be down to the 2200 foot elevation. After leaving the Sierra, the track is predicted to run to the south-east.

    Y'all have fun over there on 70 and 15 in UT and CO! I'm going to Yakima, dusting showing right now for Bend...but that's about it!
