I got my first snow donkey victim in at Nissan, a day before it snowed! Blue Sentra tried to remove the whole LF corner of his undercarriage on a curb on Thursday morning!

Nature got it wrong last week. It's supposed to snow in the mountains, not down here.

From this link go to 80 @ Kingvale and yes you may be able to spot a Snow Donkey from the safety of your home.

I saw herds of snow donkeys this morning on 395 from CC to Reno... (like at least 12 cars completely off the road.) Have pics, but no bluetooth until I get home.

While I was stuck crawling on SB 395 before Stead Blvd, I was entertained by a NDOT rescue van trying to get unstuck from the shoulder. I guess he made it out because a minute after I passed him, he passed me on the right shoulder.

Oh, and Wintersport 3D FTMFW.

So far so good, but I haven't REALLY tested them yet. Just slush and an inch or two of snow so far. We'll see what happens this weekend when I head to California.

Yeah, slush isn't a true challenge (although we got 6 inches or so in Stead). We'll see how they do on ice. Should be good if the reviews are any indication.

Didn't see much coming from Cold Springs as I was limping to work.

I didn't get off of work until ~ 7:00 last night, and had asked (nicely) that Lonnie swap the winter wheels onto the Brighton ~ 2:30, as he was free.

It didn't happen, so I got stuck with some awful off-brand tires this morning. Even more funner without a RSB.

So yeah, I was going super slow down the hill at Red Rock.

No RSB is a good thing in the snow.

I kinda like the rotation I'm getting with my 22mm RSB on full stiff. I defintely have to be careful with it though.
