First day of CDL school

Hm. If you got a CDL A and so forth, you might be doing other things besides just plowing with the State.

 

Here in the south we don't go out on ice or snow when we can stay home. It's not for us, but rather the others who do not have the skills to do the snow or ice that well. A little sunshine and some stiff wind a day or two after a storm generally clears our roads, not always.

I-40 however in Arkansas gets to be a ROYAL mess and has to be shut down in places whenever we have a little snow. Keep that in mind if you ever get into trucking out west. Not everyone has plows.

I like to pick on chicago a little bit. Every time a flake comes down, they send out 10,000 plows with salt. Lay it down all over the place. Next thing they see is slush. Then ice once the sun goes down and you wonder what in the world are they doing?

 

I drove many a winter in SLC UT. Of course they were always diligent about plowing.

Been in tx over 8 years now and have gotten spoiled in winter driving. Used to handle the cold like a champion, but now days if it drops below 50 I am the worlds biggest snowflake.

UT would be out plowing a little before it starts, and will continue after it ends until everything is clear... plowing along, burying cars parked along the side of the road.

 

TravR1 the worlds biggest snowflake. He he...

Ive trouble with the cold as well believe it or not. It's around -10 with the wind and we are expecting zero or lower next couple of days. I do miss our fire place back home. We don't have those here too much. But the neighbors certainly did judging by the trees Ive cut and delivered to them over 10 winters from my land.
