Well I was almost to Westport Ct when it started. The last 12 miles of a 60 mile drive to go make pots for the grand opening of a new Smith & Hawken store in Westport. It was 1 hour from southern Ridgfield down to Westport. I do love driving around in a newish 4X4 truck in a snow storm though . ( Sorry my New English background. It is the way you get to the best skiing as well !! ) Comming home at 10:30 the roads were realy empty except for RT 84 around Danbury . That was a little tricky. The roads arent the problem its the cars with bad tires or no wieght in the right spots. You can make a rear wheel drive , drive just like a truck with enough cinder blocks in the trunk.
             If you see a car that looks like it isnt putting on its low beams it may just have a ton of wieght in the back and be trying to get tracktion and stay on its own side of the road.   
             My wife and the kids were all in our bed when I got home so at least some one in my house was being cozy.
             How many out there played in volkwagon bugs in the storms when they were kids.??? It is amazing what one could do with a bug in the snow.
             The hardest time I had in the winter was with a 72 Datson truck. It was a hard truck to get working well in the snow..I think I was being cheap on good tires in the time of My life.
         Good tires and figuring out how to make traction dose it every time !!
                         All the best   Guy
