    Every one says "I'll get off the road if I have to chain.." but if you make it to the chaining station you will be forced to iron up or get ticketed. Those that never chained call themselves professional driver.. sure, besides being lazy enough not to understand that while chaining will get you through the next 60-100 miles to get past the mountain and not parked in a clustered f*** parking lot (lucky if it is a truck stop)


    - get your slippers on!

    .... just as you got the chains off? :D :D :D

    You heading eastbound over Snoqualmie or westbound? Eastbound will be the easier drive in these conditions. That westbound drop from the summit on the elevated roadway is always a steep skating rink when it is icing.

    wadda ya mean? I've done 550 in the winter in a big truck for 2 years, it's a lovely beautiful drive, the scenery, the drop-offs, the skiers, the drop-offs, the snow, the falling rocks.......

    pretty sure that's against the laws of physics

    shrimp on the Barbie and the outbacks will come a runnin'
