    Just got back to the hotel. Every hotel has a no vacency sign, and every restaurant, even fast foods are closed. Luckily the hotel has a breakfast bar in the lobby. The lobby was full of people who were given permission to sleep in there just to get out of the weather. It's starting to rain, and the ice is starting to melt, so we will hunker down here for a couple of hours before heading back up north, but don't expect any problems.

    make SURE the roads are open ALL the way, or you might find yourself on a pew half way home!

    DG it's just raining now. We had the ice last night but since the rain started earlier it's starting to melt in most places. Not sure about getting up that driveway of yours though! Call if you need help.
    I apologize for nothing...

    We are home, and snug as a cat in a dome. Thanks to all who were concerned?

    BTW, the Jeep Cherokee with Goodyear Wranglers has done fantastic, Ive yet to need to put chains on!

    That's what I had on my Grand Cherokee and loved them! Great tires for that vehicle! Never once had a problem with them in the snow or ice even though it was a 2wd.

    Oddly enough... wranglers are my most hated tire for winter driving. they are great for the first 30000 miles then the edges seem to round out and they really suck. IMO. I've ran BFG's for 25 years-ish and would walk through where my buddy's got stuck with their wranglers... until this year, I put on a set of Cooper Winter tires as per another buddy's recommendation (the one that beat me through the shit after I shamed the wranglers, and holy fried cat!! These things are awesome! I have never had a tir do so well on a pickup. and that is just running 2 wheel in my Tacoma. 4 wheel... even I am amazed what that Toy will get thru.

    I'm still having too much fun doing intentional doughnuts to worry about traction, but I'll be keeping the Cooper info in mind.

    For weather, its pretty nice here today, clear skies and mid 20's, but bitter cold earlier this week, and from what I hear there is more coming.

    We had a break after the 1/2" of snow overnight. A little sleet, then just rain the rest of the day. Starting to melt everything now. According to the news report, the next 7 days look rather dry.
