I guess heat mizer is asleep and snow mizer is running wild, lol. Got about 3 inch's here at the house on the ground, whole state locked down. Should melt off by noon though. Kids enjoying it.

I was Tucson some years back on I10. Had to park for 3 inchs of snow. Pretty rare there. Was incredible the number of crashes. i didnt think it was bad at all but those folks had no clue how to drive in it. Same thing happens in SoCal when it rains heavy. So dry that oil on the roads gets them greasy in rain. Never been in Tucson or any other desert town in heavy rain but I bet its the same thing. They start crashing in any city when it rains but nothing like LA or San Diego.

Can drive in the snow, yankee truck drivers down here are the main problem, they think a dusting is nothing not realizing no one can drive on a sheet of ICE which is what our roads turn into. Melting off today if people would just chill out for a few hours everything would be good but they won't.

Do everthing right and still slide off the road when its icy.

Don't worry J the northerners who still live up here forget every year how to drive in snow. That first snowfall and the ditches fill with cars.

Biggest problem up here is those folks that think 4 wheel drive means 4 wheel stop also. You learn real quick the count to 5 or 10 when a light changes to green before pulling out.

Can't tell you how many buddy's of mine got out of truck driving just because of that!

Not sure how it's going to work, bigger demand than ever for driver's and at same time put more regulation's on truckers so fewer care to do it.

Maybe the self driving rigs will save us, lol.
