Snowed In - Really

[jtpollock]

Good move just because you have three wheels it’s not a 4 wheeler drive your drive wheel would have been in the deepest portion of the snow not good I got cot in a blizzard here in Colorado last year on my way to work almost did not make it you have no traction nojoke jtpollock

Good thing

We left Salt Lake City around 11:30 this morning hoping that the bad weather would be gone. No luck, made it to Fillmore, UT where we stopped for gas and were regaled with pictures of the mayhem taking place on the Interstate about 20 miles south of here. There is a lot of snow and slush on the road and several semis crashed in the southbound lanes. Crazy weather. We had a cup of coffee and decided to check in at a hotel rather than ride through it. If it was just me on the Spyder I might consider it, but I'm pulling a trailer and Joe's on two wheels. Better safe than sorry.

It's a good thing you decided to stay put. Cedar City had 6 inches of snow and power was out. Early May in Utah is always iffy with the weather. I made it home with only a few sprinkles and no snow. I thought I was crazy until I saw someone water skiing at Mantua lake on the way home. Temps were in the 40s. Ride safe and once again thanks for everything. Cheers, Larry

The worst part would likely have been sitting through the backup, Joe's feet would have been frozen. The sun is our this morning but it is only 35 right now. Brrrrrrr

The best thing is..... this will be one of your most memorable trips!!!! the mundane trips kinda blur together... but the ones with issues tend to stand out. Be prepared to enjoy the memories!!!!!! Some of our worst situations made the best trips!

You are absolutely right! I am glad that we decided to stop yesterday as it appeared that the road was snow covered for at least 50 miles. They were trying to remove two of the wrecked semis this morning when we went past. Started out this morning at 39 degrees and it was in the 90s when we got home just a few hours later.

Thanks for coming to Salt Lake! I was totally impressed with you and Joe Saturday morning. I got caught in the rain on the way home after doing my sprinkler system shopping. My Spyder sure is much nicer drive now that it is laser aligned. Nancy just couldn't believe the difference in her Spyder. Thanks again! Glad you made it home safe!

You made the right move for sure. Coming back from the Black Hills, we flew over some of that white stuff. I could not believe how much snow got dumped--again.

Also ran into snow in the high parts of the Black Hills on Monday 5/6.
