I should make mention that Im Canadian and snow will not stop a Canadian. I used to think the way you did until I lived in the south for a few years. It's very different from up north. Not sure what it is but ice seems to form in a different way in the south and it is very treacherous. Maybe it's because the ground is warmer. Not sure. But just because you're used to the snow up north don't think you can drive in it the same way in the south.

They’re protesting the indiscriminate use of apostrophes for pluralization. As well they should!

These were probably Mexican drivers that are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement's (NAFTA) open, cross-border long-haul trucking program that Obama is now implementing.
I believe these illegal truckers were headed to their new homes in Wisconsin because they feel 'safe' there. In fact, truck driving is Wisconsin's most common job. Go figure.

What happens to the trucks? Does somebody drive them back to Mexico?

Welcome to Memphis, where semis have a daily convention.

Naah, they are like snow-birds. They have a house in Wisconsin during the summer, and una hacienda in the vierno. They just drive their trucks back in forth. Part of Obama’s and the RINOS’ plan to impregnate America from the inside out with illegal invaders.

Those Mexican trucks have an economic advantage...less emission control and better fuel economy.

They ever get I-40 to cut through town, or do they still have that dead man’s curve west of town?

It’s bypass beltway 240 on both sides. I remember driving thru Memphis before the beltway was constructed. I-40 vanished and you picked it up again on the far east side of town or just before the bridge, depending on your direction of travel. That was a high adventure experience, especially at night.

Not sure how it is there, but in MA the roads are so bad that a truck could not pull over to one side.
