Goatman70, I feel your pain. I was headed back to Ohio from Lex KY one winter evening in the late 80s, and due to no fault of my own, ended up being the only car on an interstate CLOSED due to snow. I must have been hidden by the terrain when it was blocked off. I drove almost to Cincinnati before seeing another car. It was an ice storm near dayton. 2.5 hr trip, took me almost 6. Road in front of my parents house has about a 1* down slope. Made it all that way just to slide past their house on the ice. Couldn't go back up after I turned around. Left my car at a neighbors house (we knew everybody) and walked home.

Years later, visiting GF (wife later), got 30" of snow in Viper KY (south of Hazard). Company car, got it stuck in the ditch 250ft from her house - leaving Sunday on a long trip to Louisville. Paid 3 underage kids a case of beer (Always be prepared) to push it out. Followed a road grader plowing the road... for over 30 miles. Took me around 10 hours to get to Louisville. 8am Monday morning I pull into the dealership where I was to train people, it was closed! ***K!!!!

Company car was a 95 grand am. Road graders make for a very rough vehicle to follow when they have chains on their tires. It was like a 200 mile trip on the shoulder of the road where the vibration strips are. The damn car had screws falling out of the dash eventually.
