Obviously! I said that it was clear blue yesterday. Last night it snowed. Cloudy as all hell right now. And I've got to meet with members of the local contingent. Crap. |

Took me 5.5 hours round trip from Pasadena to Mt. Baldy and back on Saturday. Made the climb up no problem with the old FJ62, but on the way down did some ice skating in to a mini van that decided to stop in the middle of the road. I'll need a new bumper and 1/4 panel on the FJ, the van will need that and possibly a tailgate.
Major sections of that strectch I could not even stand up on. I slid for 15' on my feet in to a van!!! There were 4 other accidents in front of us and many, many cars coming down sideways if not bakewards. No one was hurt, but we all were shaken. Couldn't have been going more than 10 MPH... We re-chained up and drove the truck down with two tires in the deep snow at all times. The people we hit left their car and went back for it today, it was driveable, they were just not capable of getting it down the hill! Further down they closed the road in front of us for 45 minutes to an hour. A CHP car, ambulance (yes ambulance), and several other cars went off in a multi-car accident. Once again we re-chained and crawled along until the road no longer resembled an ice rink. I lived in Boston, MA for 5 yrs and spent a LOT of time in VT snowboarding. I've driven on some intense roads through serious storms and I have never seen anything like these roads. Massive switch backs covered in ice and snow. |

Not bad for carrying sway bars. Group: Members Posts: 3,377 Joined: 20-January 04 From: Las Vegas Member No.: 1,580 Region Association: Southwest Region |
And THAT is why I stayed inside all weekend. Those roads don't look nearly as bad as the ones up here. But that black ice is a doozy!
Well, except to shovel the trucks out of the driveway. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) |

I'll be heading out on the ocean this morning, the spray will be freezing to the boat. I'll be at work.
Snow, yeah there is still plenty of that too. Attached image(s)
