Winter Driving

delivered to a coal mine today, at the gate they inspected my chains......it was 57 degrees, clear blue skies and not a threat of snow to be had. Turns out, your required to carry chains year round on their property and chain up when told, no matter what the conditions.

But, the weather forcast in Colorado calls for snow likely above 6,500 tonight, Wed. night, and Thursday. Looks like it's time to get kinky.

 

Since this thread was revived for us newbies, are there places east of the Rockies you sometimes need to chain?

 

Classic...absolutely classic!!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

You would have to call that radio guy from Pahrump, NV....he has a special phone line for "East of the Rockies"!!!!!!!

who is that(?).....Art Bell? Still ROFLMAO!!!!

Sometimes I crack myself up!!!!!!

 

No. nothing east is required. but ive been in the hills in the east where its fine on one side till you go over the top to sleet and blizzard like conditions with cars whipping all around you out of control.

 

Cheap tip for newbies: wear medical gloves inside your leathers. Keeps your hands dry, therefor not as cold.

 

To chain or not to chain was not in my post...my best behavior would be attack the side of the argument I disagree with....it is who I am.....CHIEF ####ZSU STIRRER!!!!!!
