[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1837943, member: 32879"] We had two inches of wet snow on top of 4 inches that had packed down to ice on the twisting road going up the hill to our house. Heavily shaded gravel road that follows a hollow with a steep drop off on one side down into the hollow. I have been traveling this road for almost 52 years and once every three or four years an event like this makes it impassable. I started over it in my 4WD truck this morning and nearly slid into the hollow. It was so slick I just parked the truck in the road. I could not even stand in the road and had to go cross country across fresh snow to walk back to the house. Luckily I can walk to most of the stock. The one bunch I can't is on the far end of the farm, but I put out about 4 days worth of hay for them yesterday. It is supposed to get near 0 degrees tonight and I hope I can get a grip on the fresh snow after it crusts. We usually park the truck in the bottom when this is forecast, but the weather report did not seem that bad. We plan to walk to the state road tonight and have my younger daughter and her family take us out to supper. [/QUOTE]
