It was -16 or so the other night. Its a damp wet type cold here, not dry like some other areas. So it feels a bit colder then it actually is, especially with wind chill. But there are other places that get it alot worse then here.
I do think we need some boys or girls from the more northern parts of Canada to come teach the plow truck drivers here how to plow. I’ve seen a whole lotta wtf moments on my short trip into town to the grocery store today.

That’s funny. I have been there myself. In the Rookies. Ran off the road once. Didn’t mess anything up. I did one in a rain storm slid down a MT. side in a old truck. Didn’t get hurt but one hell of a ride. I was a kid. Funny how we look back and say damn it!!! What was I thinking.

Yeah the interstates made the roads a lot wider, safer, and lit up better now-a-days! A lot safer and more fun than hairpin turns and switchbacks lol

I hate when you can’t see the road. I was going through Durango. The pass right below Denver I cannot remember. That was the darkest Road I’ve ever seen. I pulled over on the side of the road. Those places do get kinda crazy
