Sorry, I love you snowbirds up there!

Sheesh, I hate living down here. Six months of the year either stuck indoors in the A/C or outside sweating until you're ready to give up and die. Our summers are as bad as your winters. Thirty years of living down here and I still hate it. Guess I'll put on longjohns and "chook" and pretend I'm in the Great White North! 8)

It's actually called a Touque, all those guy in the UP of Mi are just wannebe Canadians. Carhartt insulated overalls, a good jacket, a pair of snowmobile boots for when it gets sloppy, some water resistant gloves and you're good to go. The last few winters I've been wearing Carhartt noninsulated pants in the winter. Must be getting old :lol: Besides if you're a little cold it'll teach you to tarp faster so you can back in the truck :lol:

Some call them Tooks-Some call em Chooks.
One winter we were pushing -50f and had my Arctic Carhartt's on and was really warm plus wearing my Sorrels but man, after a winter of wearing those you'll have the strongest legs of any man alive :P

"Wannabe Canadian"?? pfffffffffffffffttttttttttt :P

Only good thing about Canada is your Vinegar and Fries :P

While I am concerned about driving in the snow and ice, I was more concerned about not having the proper clothing. For years I haven't even owned a coat or jacket. A hoodie was more than enough. While young and stupid one of my fondest sayings used to be I could could get a better tan in the Winter because I didn't have to sit outside and sweat so much. I did check into Line Haul and Texas Dedicated. Right now, new to trucking, I think I want to get Long Haul out of my system. Later, I will consider Texas Dedicated. There seems to be a lot of work here. TMC will have a new terminal up and running in the Dallas area in 18 months.
