    Luckily I have managed to avoid Upstate New York and PA entirely this year, but last year I was running Virginias & Carolinas and the Hwy 15 (IS 99) was a white-knuckler a few nights. The hills of PA got some god-awful weather last year and glad to be avoiding the area this year. I feel for ya, bro.

    I'm not complaining one bit... Cause I know when it comes to weather... I'd take the cold any day.... When it's hot I can only take so much off, before I offend someone. LOL

    I'd just rather not drive in snow... or PA... or NJ, or OH, or MI, for that matter... any place where the temp is a single digit number. :biggrin_25523:

    I walked across the harbor in Wanchese NC to the boat 20 years ago
    had to wait for the Coasties come break up the ice to go to work
    seen Chincoteague frozen plenty of times
    was never in Lynnhaven in the winter but I used to like looking at the girls working out while we unloaded
    best catch all day :biggrin_25522:

    Did that too. And no, it was not fun. That 45 degree bend at the bottom of that hill.

    You can HAVE it... I was in Passaic and Moonachie yesterday and those "Industrial" areas weren't meant for day cabs with 40's much less a sleeper with a 53... AND snow piles every where.
