damn the wind is blowing hard here... and the snow is coming down horizontally right now... its going to be a long day working today!!!
Wind quit blowing in the Ranches while I was getting gassoline
(Hey let's all get so close together with our vehicles that it looks like a train! Then when we have to hit our brakes we all run into each other!!!)
Ya SR92 was hell today me and the wife started heading east on sr92 from cabelas and it wasnt to bad the wind was blowing like mad but you could still see by the time we made it 1/2 mile up the road it was so bad you could hardly see the front of the jeep. I didnt want to stop and have someone run in to us and i was in no way going to try and turn around in the road and head back towards cabelas. So we had no choice but to carry on till we could turn off, i was driving probably around 5-10mph at the fastest and the wind was blowing so hard and the roads were so icy that it took our jeep and it blew me right off the road i had no control over where i was going and in no way could i stop it from doing so We found a road about a mile or 2 up the road with a gas station just off to the right where we pulled off and waited for about 30 min. I had no clue where the back roads went and i didnt want to wait it out till the wind stopped and i was getting worried if they would shut the road down or not so we got back on the road and made the very very slow trip back towards the freeway. I know one thing i will never try driving that road again in the snow while the wind is blowing that hard!It was a joke workin in Lehi today... 3 slide offs and 2 accidents involving 8 cars today at the same time/same location on SR 92.
