    Parking a semi downtown is difficult, and a bit of overkill for running errands.

    A pickup truck is a bit of overkill too for running errands.

    Yep...seems to be falling way short of their predictions.

    Initiating chain restrictions is more for restricting the volume of traffic along with speed. CHP has nothing but an advisory position for restrictions on the roadway, the decision to initiate chain restrictions, and the level of restriction comes from the regional director of that section of road by CalTrans, not CHP .

    Rolling breaks are designed for allowing maintenance to clear debris or quick repairs to surface conditions, rolling blocks tend to increase speeds after the block has dropped...idiots think they can make up the time lost by going fast....

    This year, CalTrans is short handed on plow operators, and with this, they run 3 or four trucks together the entire length of the control zone, and just keep circling. When the accumulation gets big enough they section these groups down to attempt to keep up with accumulation.

    Maybe, but my Indian does terrible in 3 feet of snow, or carrying 500 liters of oil, or 12 sets of Trygg logger specials. ;)

    A snowmobile can't carry it either, and I would soon be arrested.

    You can pull 500 pounds with a snowmobile. You, given the background you've given, should know that.

    You know how you keep pointing out how you ignore people? I'm about to iggy you cuz I think you're full of ####.
