    As long as it stays above Pollock....already have 9 oaks to deal with. The others are severely weakened by this drought and any heavy snow accumulation would really cause problems around here!

    Yup. Like on the grapevine and up on 58. I'm glad to see the snow, just not looking forward to the issues, Waahington and Oregon have had a ton of issues so far with slides.

    What configuration of chain setup do you guys run depending on what situations?

    I've got 4 singles and 2 doubles.

    What do you guys have?

    There is no need for 3 railers. Even CA has accepted the single chain on each outside drive, with drag chain (trailer non-drive) on both sides. To properly apply a 3 railer, it is advised to drop the trailer for easier access to connectors and adjusters. Just no need to use them.

    3 railers are heavy and a pain to put on. The ones on the outside drives and the drags are good enough.
