Well damn...
26F tonight.
Sleet and ice.
This sucks.
I know you guys up north are used to this, but Texas is not.
@Maude gonna be a cold few days up here too. Stay warm and cozy.
@Maude @DanIsWriting Snow after sleet gives you traction. Love, Wisconsin.
@BFBucky1
I would drive in 2 ft of snow over 1/4" of ice any day of the week.
Watching these fools attempt an incline in front of my house.
@Maude @SaltyVeruca @DanIsWriting I once slid down a street on a thin sheet of ice. Nothing you can do. The car went sideways but lucky for me it didn’t hit any parked cars.
@BFBucky1 @Maude @SaltyVeruca I've been there. More than a few times. I truly feel that I've avoided many accidents due to my racing experience. Keeping cool when the car is spinning counts for a lot.
Now I have 4wd and studded snow tires, living the dream. As long as I stay at a reasonable speed I never have to worry much, even in the mountains.
@DanIsWriting @Maude @SaltyVeruca On the first snow of the year I would go to a 😂 large parking lot and practice stopping and spinning. I only ever got stuck in a 4WD pickup when I ran out of ground clearance and set the frame up on a snow.
