    So who's out in the snow today? A little snow here in CO. Got to drive home in it last night and then comeback to work at 4 this morning. Couldn't even see where my driveway was. This was the drive in. But it was like butter. A few slick spots but other than that it was smooth. Royal Diablo performed as expected.

    We didn't have snow yesterday, we had ice. My normal hour drive home became a 7 1/2 hour marathon. Expecting the same thing today starting with freezing rain this morning and changing to snow this afternoon. I'll be making fire in the fireplace and try to catch up on sleep and reading.

    I would be too if I didn't have to be at work. But my mid shifters can't get out so they are still here.

    I normally take I-70 but stayed on the service road as much as possible and heard it was closed between Wentzville and Columbia.

    She looks good in the snow. Had to go out and make some tracks and pack the snow down so the mid shifters could go home.

    Glad Im stationed where there isn't any snow. I grew up in north Idaho and loved it when I was a kid, but then I got a job doing commercial and OTR tires for a few years before I enlisted and it ruined snow for me forever. Whenever I see pictures of the white stuff, all I can think about is laying in slush while praying that the logging truck I was working on didn't slide off the jack.

    The 30° temps today feel like summer after the wind and single digits we have had lately! Not enough snow fell here today to warrant playing around in though. :(

    Well, it's only going to last a few more hours. Then it will be below freezing.

    A bit. Came into work this AM, but streets were already plowed. I'm pretty sure that doesn't count, LOL.

    Drove in the snow about a half hour this morning, once I got 30 miles north of I70 it stopped. Snow was slippery in Burlington, need to get all my stuff bought so I can get rid of these shitty BFG's :annoyed:

    What's wrong with the BFGs? I had the A/T KO2 on my Taco and worked awesome on the snow. What issues did you have?

    I have P-metric Rugged Trails, not KO2's. They don't seem to get a good grip, plus they're not an LT tire.
