    And winter has not left us here in Oregon yet. It decided to come back and will not leave till tomorrow afternoon sometime. I-5 has chains from. The 209 to the Washington State line, as does 405 and 205. It's going to snow 7 more inches tonight and I can't move out of Millersburg because I have become stuck, even with my chains on.

    So what did you do wrong? Set your trailer brakes and they froze up on ya, or, park with warm rubber which caused the snow/ice to melt and then refreeze with rubber included in the freeze? [and forgot to roll them cooled down tires]

    Inquiring minds want to know!:yes2557:

    Headed your way after a 10 hour pause for a cause...but according to AccuWeather, I could get lucky and time it just right to get through that top third of OR after you guys have it all loosened up. Deliver Safeway Auburn, WA Monday morning 0400.

    The ones that have their bicycles mounted with skis on them, and then mounted to the roof of their Subaru, it is perfectly all right and acceptable to run over, rather than push them out of the way. . .:biggrin_25526:
