I literally only got 11 total hours this year. We hardly got any snow the last 2 years here. Central Maryland has been spared go an hour north or west, it's a different story.

You're kidding! With all those nor'easters that have blown through that area the last couple of years that made the news cycle out West, and you've been spared? Wow!

I Googled it too, just 'cause I'm the curious type. I found this quote on the urban dictionary: "Runaway truck ramps were built for people who do this."

I've seen what those ramps do.
1. A lot of carnage to the undercarriage.
2. The only way to retrieve a vehicle from that mess is with a tow from a vehicle outside the ramp. It's like nothing escapes... except the sound of cussing from those who stray in there.

I followed a semi onto one of those during a blizzard on Superbowl Sunday in 1986. I couldn't see anything and had been following him for a few miles. I followed him and my buddy was following me.

I don't think there was a Moe there. I've been Schemp since high school. But Larry and I got out just fine

A friend of mine did something similar but was in dense valley fog. The truck slowed and came to a stop and sat there for a good twenty minutes. When my friend finally got out to investigate he found that he was in the parking lot of a diner and the trucker was eating breakfast.

I'm confused... What's dense in your story?

Dense = thick. Maybe 4-5 foot visibility max. at ground level. The truck windshield is often above the top of the fog level if that makes sense.
