To say people shouldn't drive at night in the snow...are you kidding me?

This is just too rich for words - you post the Florida state flag on your user page, yet you feel qualified to opine on whether/when one should drive in Western mountains in inclement weather at night!

Look, pal, anyone from Calif (especially the Bay Area) knows the story of the Donner Party. Heck, the peak over the Sierras on I-80 on the way to Tahoe is called the DONNER pass.

Same stuff happened 160 years ago - just because you're driving a car doesn't change the facts about the weather & environment.

Thanx for the input however - I'll keep it in mind (snicker).

Yeah because I know am in Florida you think I don't know anything...

interesting, guess it now time to tell some information that you are missing; I have lived all over North America and including the bay area, San Fran and Berkely. I also lived in upper Canada - I dare ask what is more daunting then the conditions up there. You my friend as always jump to the wrong conclusions based on a couple of data points. That is why I responded to you in the first place.

I also know Tahoe quite well we used to go there the time and I am quite familiar with the terrain there as well.

I used to climb Mt Washington near and around the winter - show me a place in the USA that is more treacherous weather wise...there isn't...it is the worst place for radical weather change. I used to ski Tuckerman's there anyone that knows the area will tell you how tricky it is.

Lastly I used to be a fireman, search and rescue (scuba diver), I was in the civil air patrol have done my share of work in this area.

I have been in horrific weather at night, I have been in Nor-easters that have dropped 5 feet a snow in a night with winds in excess of 90 MPH...please don't lecture me or anyone else until you do your research.

And finally because of the success in my life I am able to live in paradise and you want to criticize my expertise.

BTW have you been through a CAT 4 or CAT 5 hurricane - because I have...multiple ones. I will tell you Florida knows how to handle situations like this and for one main reason - they learn from their mistakes they don't keep making them over and over again.
