    drove in Layton earlier this month, when they had the 100+mph winds, and shut down part of I-15.
    I was 79500+ and got pushed sideways one full lane from a wind gust.
    I take wind advisories even more serious than snow and ice

    Good move nobrand. Those cross winds are treacherous up there with a light load on. I've been blown off the road one time. Not an experience that I recommend to anybody!

    And if yer aunt was plumbed different, she'd be your uncle!:biggrin_25522:

    I got blown of the road on a sheet of ice, driving a single screw day cab pulling an empty pup. Cross wind came "out of now where" and got me.


    Uh-huh. But we won't talk about driving too fast for conditions. . . [​IMG]
