Snow, salt and Plows

Well it started today, but it shouldn't stay too long.
The snow plow has gone past my house already this morning with the salter on the back .
I have to drive 60 miles in a few minutes for an appointment. Do I take the 4x4 Z71 Pick up or the G35X with Blizzaks. The G35X is so much better in the snow, but I don't feel like getting it dirty . If the snow was real deep it would be a no brainer, I would be driving the X .
Decisions, decisions

Well my truck is covered in salt and the further north I went the better the roads were. I just got back to Kincardine and the snow is gradually melting as I expected.
It always amazes me at the way some dough-heads drive when there is just a little bit of snow in the air. Some people were doing only half the speed limit and the roads had almost no snow on them .
Oh well, sorry for the rant.

Yup I agree, they're the guys that blast by you at track speeds then you see them in the ditch or a snowbank a few miles down the road .

That is sooooooooo true Ian. The first snowfall of the year is always the worst for idiot drivers!

That sucks about the snow Wayne, how much did you end up getting?
