Yea, Come live down here in the Mountains where I reside, You better know how to drive, or your going to end up in bad shape.View attachment 327729
HAHA. Fort Carson is COLD! Just about any where out on the Front Range is nasty cold, Nothing but howling winds and blowing snow. I live up about halfway between Woodland park and Divide, and while the Winds are some what less, the snows are way worse! I work up at Breckenridge Ski Resort during the Snowy season, and it isn't near as cold up there as down in the flats.BTDTBTTS.
I spent two and a half years at Fort Carson and let me tell you when we got stuck down range we got pulled out by track vehicles like TRV's, APC's or tanks. I'll tell you down range at Fort Carson Colorado was the coldest I have ever been in my life, EVER!!!!
The freezing rain sucked. We got ~ 3 inches of snow and the millennials that work for me were in tears... yes, seriously I had two in tears. Smdh. Home now, driveway cleared, and drinking a Spanish coffee.
We the few, we few who have survived the slushpocalypse, are just now digging out of our heavily insulated underground bunkers to see what is left of civilization in the Pacific Northwest. I expect I will awake screaming at times dreaming of the horrors of my pant leg getting within INCHES of the awful slush.
They laughed at me when I bought case after case of Nacho Doritos, Pepsi, and Snickers. Laughed, I say, laughed! Now, as I gaze upon the glistening wet ruins of neighborhood, tears of grief streaming down my cheeks, I can't even bring myself to shout "I TOLD YOU SO, YOU DUMASSES!!!". If only they had listened to me, instead of condescendingly saying "3M, did you take your happy pills today? Are you sure?" they may well have survived where others perished.
I am greatly heartened to see so many of my Forum Brothers have survived to write about their close brush with wet, icy death this day. Together, we shall go forth and rebuild civilization and repopulate humanity. I have already ventured forth to see see if there are any surviving females in likely places such as bars and t.averns in need of assistance with the repopulation effort, but so far all I have found appear to be some sort of subhuman mutants that hide behind their bar stools and throw their glasses at me me when I offer my assistance.
Despite such hardships I trust we will persevere and eventually, perhaps within our lifetimes, put this tragedy behind us.

They didn't even deliver the mail yesterday.
I never have figured out why people don't clean there car off! Driving down the road with frozen or snow filled windows is the dumbest thing I have ever seen.
How the hell are you supposed to drive safe and avoid others if you can't see your damn self!!!
BTDTBTTS.

I could not physically stand on the ice this morning; both of my kids wiped out and slid under the truck.Excellent post. I see this all the time. I was off work today and that's the first thing I did, besides shoveling the sidewalks off around my house.

Still well covered with ice! I've got 12' bamboo glued to the ground!
Only time we are going out is to pull the crampons on to take hot water our to the birdbath. Darned tank deicer failed! Only about 15 years old! Street is still icy too!
$7-8 for a cheap tarpThis is how I drove to work today; I couldn't stand on the ground and scrape my windows, so I stood on the running board of my truck and chipped away a 'window' through the ice with my knife. Nobody on the roads in my Camas neighborhood this morning, except tow trucks - and me
