good tips gents, the season is cooling down here in Oregon.
I don't care to drive in ice weather as the cities usually have issues that raise the frustration of traffic too high.
About 6 years ago I drove thru a raging blizzard from St. Louis to Denver to Cheyenne to Pocatello Idaho, in a 4x4 pick up. It was exhausting, exhilarating, beautiful and often terrifying. Steep isolated 8500' mtn passes in creep mode 15mph up hill and maybe 10 down....just too slick to walk and snow above the fence posts....and no place to walk to if you did have to get out!
There was a highway along the Wyo/Id border that cut N up out of the big gas stop there ?Little America?? and while the road was good, the condition were late afternoon, snow covered every where, the flattish road made long sweeping curves through a little river valley....but the road surface was invisible and slick, while there was a slight breeze that kept snow fog/ice crystals about knee deep constantly billowing across the road way. With the sun low on the horizon we often had to just guess where the trail was, and darkness was coming on. After 18 hours on the road I was pretty drained and glad to get to town....whatever that was just inside Idaho border.
So I really don't want to repeat that in my RV....
