 Can't seem to get out of the snow this year. This is in El Paso, I can see snow in Mexico from here. It's not deep, but for here it's a bigger deal than 2 feet at home. lol

| Were you down there a couple years ago? 14 below and a foot of snow? Most everyone in the towns heats with gas from the main, and uses water from the county lines, so at a certain point, the gas pressure was so low furnaces couldn't keep the homes warm, pipes froze, the mains are only 18 inches deep in most places anyway, froze solid.... so the good news was the reservior levels weren't going down! Not till people fixed all their busted plumbing...

| I was stationed at FT Bliss TX "El Paso" in the early 1970s. It snowed one time while I was there. All the roads,Schools and FT Bliss were closed.

| What's that you're driving Jon? It looks like one of those big rounded nose things. Sorry I don't know model numbers but I drove one from Omaha to NH a year and a half ago.

| I was driven a 9400 for awhile , but mine was a flat top and it was fine with me as i only used the sleeper to sleep in and was normaly only out for five days at a time but did do a 10 day stretch a coupe times on big moves . Really liked that truck almost as much as my 4300 as it had almost as much go power . It had a turned up 550 cat and it could almost pull a big load as well as the 4300 could.

The big rounded one that I drove across was a Pete. I had a 5900i for two years. I liked it pretty well.

| I hope that is a paved frontage road on your right, and not a freeway you are on, if so you are on the wrong side of the road. :)

| Nope, he is going the right way, the rumble strips are on the right and the posts with the cables are in the median on the left. (Just had to throw that in.)
