    @Rocks - looks like ya had a fun filled day!

    More than 75% of the people I saw this morning are still here. Both east and west bound are ice covered. Already a YouTube video of the jack knifed trucks. [video=youtube_share;U04ihBOzeRk]http://youtu.be/U04ihBOzeRk?a[/video]

    ya did good ms rocks

    that's one of the (many) reasons I left my previous company as well........providence and Pawtucket were 2 places I always hated to go in a truck. I just got tired of running up there every week for no other reason than I would and not complain about it. haven't seen anything near the area since I've been gone from there.

    just had one of my former students call me yesterday asking how to get into and out of one of the places in Pawtucket I used to go to. it was his first time in there. he called me back later and told me it took him almost 30 minutes between getting a hole in traffic big enough to get started back to block the traffic and getting off the street into the not quite big enough dock lol

    I don't miss that #### one bit lol

    Yes... looking at those other folks out there... I guess I had a lot of fun playing in the snow with my shovel... in the yard with truck...
    Depending on weather, I may not be going anywhere tomorrow... I would rather get my 34 than face snow and ice around here...

    Thank you Mr. flyingmusician... :biggrin_25519: I like the opportunity to learn new and challenging experiences... but places like those totally SUCK... too much stress, too many opportunities for something to go wrong and then, it will be on my record... :biggrin_2552:
    On top of all that today, as I was entering circle ramp to I-95 South... I encountered two disable vehicles parked next to the right curb in that circle ramp... :biggrin_2552: Good thing I was 20 mph.... Guy got out of the car and shouted, "I can't move my vehicle"... I had to run over the snow covered slope on the left side of the curve to barely miss those cars... :biggrin_2554: What a freaking place....
