Reckon I could write several books @Former-Member .... lol ....

Hi @Former-Member ....

Yeah we're okay here. WH is a bit ocncerned about our road trip tomorrow cos it's snowing in those areas and we might need to put chains on the tyres, which we have never done before, but I'm sure it will be okay ... it's a main road, and they sprinkle salt to stop ice build-up and a snow-clean-up vehicle comes through periodically.

We haven't met with intense bad weather here like that report is suggesting. Thanks for your concern tho ..... 💕
