Terrie, great reminder and very useful bits of info. I hate that weather!!
I remember having to put chains on my car making the trip from Reno to Lake Tahoe.
Some of these numbers would hve been very helpful to have prior to making that trip!
Great info Terrie!
Good Idea! I will have my boys check this out on their road trips up to Big Bear for our local numbers, thanks for the hint.
