Message:: [QUOTE="AfterShock, post: 693930, member: 10604"]HeY!I live in Southern California.WhAT's winter? But I remember the FIRST time I encountered icy roads, --- it was in Van Horne, TEXAS. Pullin' doubles.Hailin' like HaiL, and my unheated mirrors were frozen ice. Couldn't even see if my traliers were tryin' to pass me.That's when and where I learned what they mean when they sayDrivin' By The Seat Of Your Pants.You REALLY do.You FEEL what's goin' on under, behind and above.Too big? orToo small? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25525.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25525:" unselectable="on" /> For me, it's white out conditions in snow when I can't see the lines in the road, snow is falling so fast that it quickly covers the tire tracks of the vehicles in front of me, and there's a ledge on one side --- headlights reflect back at'cha by the falling snow, ---- and blind you.With head hung out the driver's side window, and not even being able to see the steps to get into the Big truck, just LISTENING for ANY sounds that don't sound right.OH!And ice freezes the windshield wipers so they don't scrape, if they work at all. And thick fog.I'd tend to go with that experienced opinion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/yes2557.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":yes2557:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
