Ice and snow don't mix

[71-LS6]

Rob, if you follow that ice stripe to the west, it looks the same. My place by Grove, Oklahoma, is just as bad. I was going to take my skid loader in and clear the debris, but I've still got one main power line laying across the only entrance road. I drove down and back last saturday, (during the height of the storm) and delivered some temporary heat for my house and the neighbor's house. WHAT A TRIP! 400 miles in every type of precip imaginable. After fifty miles, I got smart and turned off my wipers, I just kept the defroster on high, my wipers were useless. Hard rain with 16-24 degree temperatures = bad news. I had to stop twice, take a hammer, and bust the ice out of my rear wheel wells, just to keep my wheels turning. I hope I never have to do that again.
