    Seriously 100% the truth. I bobtailed from Georgia to Louisville Kentucky through Knoxville today. Right through this storm. Sometimes my speed was 35 mph. Thank you God for answering my prayer and getting me through safely.

    Conditions that are routine for me in Idaho, are really difficult for folks over there. We get to practice our winter driving every day. They don't have that opportunity, so they get in trouble. One tip for them, a 5 or 10 pound bag of kitty litter is a good thing to carry. Throwing some under the wheels gives you good traction to get up a hill or away from the gutter and it doesn't cost you that much.

    WINTER'S SNOW & ARCTIC BLAST - 2024**
    Over the heads of all I meet
    Falls winter's life giving snow.
    Upon the rooftops and the streets
    Filling the sky and earth below.
    Dancing, swirling, skimming along,
    Like the snows of yesteryears.
    There's lots of ice on the windows
    As my lashes freeze over with tears.
    It's so cold; it's too cold to snow
    Yet the snow continues to fall.
    The land is covered blanket white
    As the winter winds wail their call.
    There's a red-hot fire awaiting me
    That will thaw out my every part.
    It's not the glow of a fireplace
    But the love that dwells in my heart.
    By Tom Zart!
