    tell me about it, my trailer tried to leave me in the Springs and go to Kansas by itself.

    wind, lots and lots of wind. Pretty sure Dorothy and Toto are already home, and the red shoes had nothing to do with it.

    My boss said my new truck, due in May or June, will have two sets of auto chains. This is going to seriously suck, I mean what will I do if I'm not out in the snow, cold and ice putting chains on?

    It really sucks, but you'll have to be dry and warm with only a switch to toggle.

    On the bright side, you still might be required to chain up your trailer.

    CA...gold discovery foothills

    Well boys and girls...the storm intensified to a greater extent than predicted...(who'd a thunk it possible?)...coastal range from just above Eureka down to Santa Rosa are getting accumulating snow, and the Sierra is getting a much heavier dose than predicted. Snow is falling from Grass Lake (just east of Weed) to the CA/OR border (small accumulation) and the Sierra is catching great amounts of the desperately needed stuff. T/S's in Reno are full, trucks are being chased out of the former bug station area in Truckee and being told to either chain and go or return to Reno. This could go on all day .... and this is not an April Fools day joke!

    Too bad you're not there, Otter. You could make a lot of lunch money chaining up the "I don't chain" crowd!
