Welcome to Wyoming...

I've seen Cheyenne, and the entire I-25 corridor all the way to
Montana looking just like that more than once. I drove for a
company out of Sheridan, and when it got like that I'd just
find a safe spot to park and take a long nap.

Truth be told, it only snows in Wyoming once a year...it just blows
around the state the rest of the time.

they are apparently rescuing people off the interstates with snow mobiles.
used to hear them doing that here in the 60's 70's.

don't know what this guys driving But he seems to get around ok.
I have to laugh he runs Red lights & Stopped more then once on a green

I used to Love driving in the weather in my Teens early 20's in Big Heavy Cars , No fear.
Now I wouldn't risk it.

Too many out-of-staters and city folks don't know how to drive in these conditions. (Don't forget to turn on your cruse control when there is ice on the roadway? lol!)

Winter isn’t over in some parts of the country for another month or two. I don’t put the snowblower away until mid May or later.

Everyone knows that if you have 4 wheel drive you can drive as fast as you want on snow and ice.

When I retired I bought a new truck. A 2 wheel drive. That way when it snows I have an excuse to stay in my nice warm house. Gary

I rarely had a Problem with Rear wheel drive in my Early Years.

I do remember Stepping on the Gas to Try & Get through a 5' Snow drift
and end up Learning that is Impossible I also leaned that night if you Let
a Township Plow hook a Chain to your Bumper, He will pull you out,
But your Bumper kind of Bends out Too

rear wheel drive & Fishtailing is fun though

Leaned how to take a 90 Degree turn Down hill on a sheet of Ice



Hit the Breaks 1 Second Slide Towards the Bank to the Right



Let off the Breaks car steers to the Left hit the breaks again 1 Second Slide Towards the Bank to the Right Let off the Breaks car steers to the Left. repeat as necessary.
once your pointed straight down just hold on & let gravity take ya ! Your Breaks can be your Friend on Ice for Stearing
if used sparingly




On my trip up that corner was the Freezing Point.
ended up Pointing down as I Rounded the Curve

As I Said I Enjoyed Snow & Ice.
They used to have fits Kids doing Donuts in the Acme Parking lot in the winter.

the Police should have had a Spot where playing on snow & Ice was Mandatory
for winter Drivers to learn

Everyone knows that if you have 4 wheel drive you can drive as fast as you want on snow and ice.

And they don’t realize that in certain conditions even trucks and four wheel drive vehicles can get stuck. If it’s greasy snow the heavier vehicles can have trouble on inclines, 4WD or not.
