It was -30f here a few days ago and today it's 27f... from now to Monday we're expected to get about a foot of snow mixed with freezing rain on and off... then back to -20f for Tuesday.

What did I do with the X today?..... Well, I kept him off the road!
In mid-Michigan this AM we've got EVERYTHING covered in a heavy layer of ICE & I didn't want to do a repeat of last winter's crunching event.
Last February, I was traveling and came into a ~500' stretch of ice that slowly had the rear of the X come around, allowing us to travel sideways - blocking both lanes, then continuing around until we went into the ditch on the left side of the road backwards...then across the ditch and into a LARGE Elm tree that STOPPED the X in it's tracks!!! It made contact right at the RH cab corner and caved in the front door hinge area & windshield about 6" and the rear half of the front fender. The dealer nearly totaled the ol' guy due to the cab corner being caved in and busting up lots of stuff housed in that area under the dash and firewall. Luckily, the insurance co. & I convinced them there was lots of truck undamaged, and thus was worth fixing. With that event "still in sight in my rear view mirror", I didn't want to go dance on the icy roads today.
I hope everyone else has a safe day with their X today!

Indeed. Have a lot and it's a project that needs detailed instructions. Like a puzzle getting it all apart so far, it's still on the kitchen floor got busy with life, but hope to finish it up this evening.
