needed chains. Since it's a long way and all pretty much the same exposure, so if chains were required accross Nevada it'd
probably be for 200+ miles; you don't want to do that: hole up in a motel and wait a day - it'll melt.


I can't believe you said that! "Chains required" condition on I-80 is
a VERY GOOD THING, and you should be driving your wheels off
to get to the mountain ASAP, and NOT holing up in a hotel. Ugh!

No, he should hole up elsewhere. It's unsafe to be in the mountains and
specially near the slopes, when the roads are snowed on. I know, since I
live near the slopes and I suffer extremely dangerous conditions every
single time.
Like now. Bummer.

It's criminal; why doesn't the government do something about the weather!
