Everyone get home ok? We need the snow!

Fun to watch around here. Where I live (right next to Ft Carson) all the new solders from Texas are getting there first taste of Colorado. I have seen some slide right through the stop sign and a couple going 5mph.

Got a couple more inches after the pic was taken and it looks like it is not done. Hope they remembered that thing called antifreeze tonight.

I was going to have to water the lawn this weekend until this. Hope everyone stays safe.

Got home ok, but man people were idiots as usual. I nearly got into a low speed collision, as I was making a right turn into a local shopping center. Some Schmuck in an Escalade XXL (or whatever the large ones are), was blasting through on the wrong side of the road (my side) as I was turning in. Apparently when the lines are covered, some folks just can't figure it out. Just a brief reminder, ya can't just be accountable for your own actions, you have to watch out for everyone else as well. Hope everyone is safe out there

We made it home alright. I got honked at for some weird reason. Otherwise, it was okay.

Not much more in Cripple Creek up at 10,000'. Supposed to get to -12-20 tonight.

today, of all days, The Battery in the Blazer decided "its Time".





Driving a 2wd Pickup in this mess isn't that bad.
Driving a 2wd Pickup in this mess surrounded by idiot californians is a fucking nightmare.
Watched a Ford Excursion with Cali plates Zooming down 120th Slide through a Red light Sideways take out 3 cars and a pedestrian.
We stopped long enough to make sure everyone was OK.
I was also kind enough to give my statement to the officer.
Things like "Excessive speed" "Disregard for road conditions."

I saw a Camry Solara with Cali plates driving around with their hazards on. Usually it is only the Mexicans around Federal Heights that do that.

I don't know if it is because I'm old now, but I get really nervous in the snow and always feel like I'm driving on the very edge of control. I left the house at 2:00pm and didn't get home till around 7:00pm and I don't think I got much over 35 mph the whole time.

Glad the a$$ hole had you there to "help" him out, nice wording as well.

[Marlin]

I didn't go out of the house....


Well, except for dog duty...

Hey at least you guys are used to 5" of snow. Here on the WS everyone sucks at driving. I swear you can drive down the highway here and every 50 ft there is a vehicle in the embankment.

I think I was stuck behind some of them...

the worst was my drivers side wiper failed on hwy 115... pulled over, swapped it with the passenger side- started on my way again, and some
$%#%&* ignoramus with his lights off appears out of nowhere and honks at me! I pull on the shoulder and let him by, wasn't close to any accident, but:

what kind of #%Y&*(*@ dipstick leaves his lights off in a blizzard? I flashed by lights at him repeatedly, but he never got a $#@&* clue... left his lights off- moron! Road wasn't that bad, but visibility was bad... I need to get a PA system.

it's about time winter arrived here- but the roads were not that bad... I had all-seasons on, and had no problems with traction (front-wheel drive). Then again, I learned to drive in those kind of conditions.
