Winter Stories?

Yeah, I saw a wrecked white Isuzu Rodeo this morning off on the side of the hwy. Crumpled front end and both air bags deployed....probably slid off into the median. 4x4 does not mean you won't slide...

I would love to see Moab right now.

Just a very light dusting of snow around town and not in all parts. The La Sals look great and very big.

I was in Denver over the weekend and drove back on Sunday and it was snow packed from around Idaho Springs to almost Grand Junction. I was in a little Honda Civic though.... better gas mileage.

Awww... you could have made it to the Colorado Colors Meetup! ...except it got cancelled because of the... snow.

Might not be cold or snowy to you other folks, but we've been in the Teens to 20's for a few days and a few inches of snow, with more on the way (They think up to a foot and 1/2 on Sunday!!!). It's been nice with WAY LESS traffic on the road, and as long as I take it real easy, I've had almost no problems on my 40 mile round trip each day on the backroads. I tried to power out of a small slide Sunday Morning, but ended up sliding into a small ditch and then keeping going and driving back out (no damage at all), but it was good to learn my lesson early and in a safe spot. I use to live in Spokane, so this isn't new to me, but for some reason it's just way more slipery down here, and most folks don't seem to know what to do with it.

One thing to always remember during winter driving...well ALL driving, but especially when slippery.
Leave a couple of car lengths in front of you when stopped in traffic, this has "saved my bacon" more than a few times, the last time was on perfectly dry pavement when I noticed a benz coming up behind me WAY TOO FAST...of course the "driver" was otherwise occupied in conversation...

When I heard her brakes lock up, I was REAL glad I had somewhere to go...I watched in my rearview as I pulled away, & she sat there & SHOOK. I was nearly a block away before she started moving again.

Oh yeah...always remember to bring a towel.
