The other was a big intersection where an SUV had spun off the road and flipped. We hadn't seen the temps much above freezing since the big 2 footer so anything that melted during the day re-froze overnight so the ground wasn't getting warm enough and then staying there. It wasn't until this weekend that the temps finally came above freezing overnight and the ground warmed up with these couple of 60 degree days in a row.

As we came up on the intersection with hiway 53, we see all sorts of flashing lights, taillights, and headlights. 2 of the 3 cruisers were on the pileup of cars. The CHP boys and girls were responding to a multi-car pile up and made themselves part of it! That was in 1984/85 winter. And......The "Chickas" at Newport aren't any better than the "Chickas" of Diego.....but I was partial to the "Chicks" of Loyola Marymount....there in Torrance CA. Loved going to the Torrance beach on warm days!! :D Catholic girls...nothing like um on earth........unless it is Mormon girls.........or Babtist girls.......or........ :lol: Freezing fog gives truck drivers fair warning that it is present, if the truck is equipped with flexible CB radio antennas. The fog builds up on the antennas, the antennas start whipping around wider and wider...until they either break off, or the ice falls off. I have had them beating a load tune on many a cabover cab before...and cracked the windshield of a T-800 once. |
