We're in ABQ as we speak but it was NOT a good trip. We hit snow just outside o' Santa Rosa, it got pretty slithery west o' Moriarty and downright treacherous in the mountains just east o' ABQ, where it was a 35 mph world for the better part of an hour. Then we dropped down into ABQ and all was right once more. For what it's worth... The Tart handles pretty well in snow, her driver not so much. Gettin' old is a bitch.

Tough going in the snow? Better get a FWD vehicle, Buck! You know, the kind you love so much LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any problems with the car, just my nerve.
DeleteDude. With all the dash cam stuff we've been seeing lately, what are you trying to scare the crap out of us?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your son is home for a bit. Enjoy your time together. Give him our best!
In re: dash cams. But I wasn't in Russia!
DeleteSN1 sez thanks.
Driving across NM is a whole lot of nuthin.
ReplyDeleteSnow storms around Santa Rosa can be treacherous. Many a storm has shut I-40 down. I totally understand the nerve thang.
I don't drive in snow any more, not unless I absolutely HAVE to do it. Yesterday was pretty close to a "have to," as SN1 is only home for four days before he heads back out to the desert.
DeleteAbout the only times I ever drove in the snow it was in the mountains. First time was over Echo Summit on U.S. 50 near Lake Tahoe, the next over Rabbit Ears Pass on U.S. 40 in Colorado. I wasn't bright enough at the time to be concerned.
ReplyDeleteHeh. There was a time when snow didn't bother me, too. I drove from South Bend IN to eastern Montana during the great blizzard o' '77, when I-94 was reduced to one lane across most o' North Dakota. THAT was a fun drive.
DeleteI am fixin to head that a way.............
ReplyDeleteWe are going to leave today for Wichita, Kansas and Xmas with the grandkids.
CA 58 to I 40 to US 54. Such a pleasant drive this time of year.
Drive safe, Glenn. Wave as ya go by!
