A very foggy morning here, eased off now.
My wife`s Escape is front wheel drive and winter tires made a big difference.

I used to drive all the time on summer tires year round and never had a problem but 2 years ago we decided to buy winter tires and had them studded too

Clear sky out here still but the clouds and cold weather are coming in tonight.
I pack down the snow in front with the truck to make it easier for my neighbors to park.

The Escape were pretty bald and wide, they looked like balloons. I don`t have winter tires on my F150 and with careful driving I get by.
Very cloudy here, no sign of any sun at all.
Gas dropped another cent yesterday, $.989

My ground grips throw a lot of snow because of lack of weight, I idle around corners and away from stops, they're no good on hard pack but are good in deep snow.

Same here Steve, at one time studded tires were popular.
Some extra weight on the back of your truck help with traction but won`t help with stopping Perry.

I have studded tires front and back, here if you go off the road now and don't have winter tires I think but not 100% sure you can get charged or at least they were talking about it..

I put the snow from the street sidewalk in the back of the truck, gets rid of half the snow bank. Have a checker plate deck so I'm not worried about rust, it also is a bit oily.

At one time I had one ton trucks with hoists but a tandem gravel truck is a lot more useful for Bobcat work.​​​​​​​

A crappy evening here, the fog came back late afternoon and I have a headache. Hope that I`m not getting a cold.
