    I always took those WY wind warnings seriously. Too many trucks end up in the ditch.

    Yeah, when I was driving mail with 10 Roads Express night runs to Denver to SLC 2 years ago I'd always chain-up take slush on I-70 instead of wind and ice on I-80. I never slid on 70. But I slide twice on 80, once on ice and once on dry pavement.
