[NMCCSC] DRIVING IN THE SNOW

[Will Mitchell via NMCCSCeGroup]

I was stuck on that road, not moving, for 45 minutes.  At first there were reports of cars off the road or stuck, but I never passed a single one like that.  Then there was the report of the snowplow that turned over, and I did see that when I finally got to it.

I am not disagreeing about the problem of people with 2WD and no chains trying to drive up there after a new snow.

Took us an extra hour to slither up to Ski Santa Fe yesterday morning, due to all the idiots in denial of their FWD vehicles not being good vehicles for driving after a 24" dump. For the drive down the mountain and home, the majority of the roads were literally dry.
