    Coming in to Grand Rapids from 3 weeks in Florida with my personal suv just tonight.

    Hit freezing rain just outside Lansing and slowed it down to 35 since there was no one in front of me

    Frikin Semi hauling a van about Blew me off the road. He made it a Honest mile down the road before he was all Jackknifed up in the median.

    Tell the truth Tommy. You stuck your leg out and tripped him while he was coming by, didn't you ?

    When I saw him Flying up on my Tail I hugged the reflectors on the right side at the last minute and let off the pedal to get him past me.

    These idiots scare the Heck out of me when I am in my Western Star and they blow by me in bad weather

    My Nissan Pathfinder would crush like a Coke can under the jackknifed trailer tandems.

    Can't help but wonder what is going through their minds. Or if there is anything going through their minds.

    BLIZZARD WARNING for the Sierra's. Calling for 4 to 5 feet, wind gusts to 100 mph.

    Is the drought over yet?

    No it's not. According to those in charge these storms causing so much snow and rain are a result of global warming and we need to pay higher taxes to make it to away.

    I had Joe NZ pull that in Ohio many moons ago. Snowing to beat the band. South of Toledo. I'm doing like 40. Pulling this freight train of Lord only knows how many trucks.
    Here comes Joe. Joe needs to be doing 45 to 50.
    About 5 miles up the highway, Joe is jackknifed in the median.

    This is my 13th winter in Arizona. I can't ever remember this much rain or snow here.

    I've lived in northern California for 42 years and the droughts/wet years have always come in 10-12 year cycles. If you look at rainfall totals for the last 100 years, it's always been that way. Sometimes though things are different. When the cliff dwellers vanished from the southwest 1300 years ago, there was a drought that lasted 80 to 100 years. That would suck now.
