wow gussie- that was one of the most animated stories i've ever seen...

glad you got home ok eric, i would hate to see any more VX's wrecked due to snow like last year.

and ive noticed that people here in colorado kinda have the same mentality as alaska... we are so used to driving in deep snow that when stores get closed down, everyone heads to the mountains to ski

and to be honest, i've had similar thoughts to alaskaVX when it comes to highway closures... (well if you can catch me in your crown vic then write me the ticket)
it never ceases to amaze me that colorado police still drive rear wheel drive crown vic's.... it snows heavily and they are some of the worst vehicles on the road.

although, to agree with rowhard- i can understand that most of the US states arent used to heavy snow and dont know how to properly deal with it and therefore are much more dangerous when it DOES snow heavy, than us states who are used to it.
