    Yeah, I spent last night at home, and I'm pretty sure I can't get my car up the hill out of my parking lot.

    I was able to escape richmond, had to crawl at 35mph on 95 and 288 though. There was one of our drivers who didn't get away so cleanly though as his trailer decided it wanted to stay at HP when the driver was leaving.:(

    well, I think I took @JohnBoy 's run when his trans cooler failed. ran through snow in Colorado, had my brakes freeze up twice, raton pass had chain laws in effect, so we had to stop for the night, and my truck is sitting in kw pueblo (and has been since Friday night after an 8 hour wait for a tow) as i type this for some kind of scr issue. thanks John ;)

    It's a brisk 4F out there right now here in Greater Downtown Mechanicsville, and I'm about to go take a stab at getting my car up the hill in my apartment complex parking lot. Didn't work yesterday. We'll see about today.

    I'm on HT in Richmond. My honey and I were having fun cruising around in the snow in my Pocono winter buggy. :D ... it's amazing how so many folks have no clue how to drive in snow. Even the state plows are pretty much clueless on how to do the job right. We had fun driving around them and watching it all. But some of the funniest parts were seeing the Richmond city cops bending things up against Jersey barriers and the State cops crawling along the interstates at 35mph. :biggrin_25523:
