    ...good news, the road is open :bigsmile:


    ...seriously, be careful...we have had ice here in Indiana and there have been lots of accidents and several fatalities locally

    Cool pic, I wonder what they do when its not wide enough for two vehicles to pass, start digging a hole in the side wall for one to move over?

    Still coming down here in Seattle.  Where we have a TON of hills! :swear:

    Funny seeing these whackos trying to get up those hills.  Even funnier seeing them come down sideways playing pinball w/the parked cars. :roflsmiley:

    Love that first photo, Elephant.  That's awesome.  I want a Viper shot just like that.

    I was watching the news of the bad weather out West...  Showed a Jeep that was on a hill, trying to pull away from the curb.  But the moment they tapped the gas, the tires would just slide, no matter how much they had them turned to the side.  What I couldn't understand was why the idiot behind the wheel kept TRYING...  Your truck is SLIDING down a MOUNTAIN.  Stick it in park, jam a rock under each tire and GO HOME.  People are STUPID.

    I like snow so much that I moved to NC from upstate NY!! LOL

    We haven't seen much here in the last four years, but I can't even imagine these people trying to drive in it. They were bad enough up north where they had practice!

    They close the schools here when there are flurries! LMAO

    I am home!  :crazy:  :cheers: Finally.

    Al, you are correct, it is wrong to leave people stranded if they are in danger.  However, if I stopped and helped everyone I would have put myself in harms way,  As it was, I wrenched my shoulder helping someone get un-stuck.  I asked many if they needed assistance and they declined.  One lady had been stetting waiting for a tow for six hours and still didn’t want a ride to town. 

    The snow looks pretty on the mountains and that is where it needs to stay.  This weekend will be spent clean my work truck from all the muck from driving in the snow for ten hours.

    Greg, Mountain Pass and Caltrans was the reason that I was in this situation,  I was there for the blasting, were they closed the road for four hours and then the snow started and never seemed to stop.  Many an abandoned car, trucks, and semis are still on the roadways.

    Ahh, Home Sweet Home.

    Glad you made it home OK.

    Maybe you should move to somewhere warm, like California.  ;)



    No snow here.  :bigsmile:

    Yer a good guy 67vertman :2thumbs:   We got 4 inches in Tacoma since last night. I was trying to finish a tough job today instead of monday (which I did)  Then I had to drive to Seattle on I-5. My top speed on ice n snow was 35 mph. Wrecks all over the place. I spent 90 bucks today for my motel in Tacoma, checked out, and another 89 dollars here at seatac. Right in front of the airport exit. 200 bucks in  one day for a motel. Gosh, then 10 dollars a day for long term parking untill Jan 17th. In advance.  I have to come back and do another job here.

    I am hoping I am not stranded here myself. Airport delays all day today and cancellations.  I bought a ticket for 12:30 lunch time :bigsmile: When I was quite sure they'd have the run ways clear. Then I bought it first class to Memphis to be sure I was at the top of the list, and then a 1 hr flight home to A L A B A M A :cheers:

    I usually work in Wyoming every year and lots of winters. I know what the wind is out there for sure.


    Homeward bound :woohoo:

    It would be nice if driving in snow was part of your driver's test. I had no problem as a teenager, but that was life in Western Pa. I move to Maryland, and find out I'm in the village of the idiots!!   :22yikes:

    Seriously, there is no need for ABS brakes if you have any clue how to drive in bad weather.

    Glad you made it home OK '67.  Our bus didn't get out of Primm until 1:00 PM today and the driver got back to our yard around 8:00 PM.  He said the desert was a winter wonderland all the way across.  It's too bad we were unaware of the blasting and road closure.  Yesterday morning, I thought briefly about the driver, hoping he wouldn't have to chain going over Cajon Pass.  Being an old Mammoth and Big Bear hand, with over 75 trips to the snow, it didn't even cross my mind that Caltrans would close the road rather than just requiring chains.  Had we known about the road closure in advance or thought about what Caltrans would do with the oncoming snow, we would have advised the driver to head down the 95 before the snow got there and closed the road.  Guess I'll file that away for future reference.

    All you folks about to get hit by both these storms, stay close to home or safety and keep warm.  :angelwings:
