The first time I was coming back empty from grand junction to denver, with full knowledge of what I was about to hit. The chain law wasn't in effect yet, coming into the last climb before Denver, it should have been. About 1/2 way up the hill, I had pretty much no traction, in 3rd gear going about 10 mph... I barely had enough momentum to pull off to the shoulder when I realized the moment was critical.
This was the first of 3 big storms that hit Denver 3 weekends in a row and I was there for 2 of them.... sorry Swift, (or hopefully a different employer by this time next year) but I won't be going through that BS again.
I was in Denver also for the one big one last year. It was when the Broncos had their playoff game. That sure was alot of snow :?
