Nemo, you are 100% correct. Not much for NE PA.
The problem is we got 4" (so far) on top of about 1" of ice. This started out as a ice storm yesterday and switched to snow around midnight.
My wife just had to have a Wednesday News Paper for the food ads. So we came down off the mountain.
We were not 100 yards from the cabin on a lone lane dirt road, when I started slipping towards the ditch. Switched the truck from 4x4 high to low. We were OK till we got to the state paved road and it got bad again. Basically we skied for another 4 miles down the mountain into town.
In town, hit the grocery store and topped off the trucks gas tank for a little added weight. Saw our mail lady at the gas station and told her not to deliver our mail today. She reached into her Jeep and gave me our mail and thanked me. Then we slowly crawled up the mountain home. A journey that normally takes 10 minutes or so, took 30.
