Once the road opens, it will be slow enough to keep the idiots in check for a few hours........
we were coming home from yakama just past the rest area elk heights going west there were 2 cars in the ditch just as you start down the hill right in the curves, but that was not the fun, going east bound there were 3 simis stuck on the hill no chains they were just trying to melt there way up hill..........by the time we got to the wenatchee exit the traffic was already backed up to the oaks st on ramp going west,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,welcome to the first 2 inches of snow.......we have about 4 inches now,,,,,,,,,,,,
You are probably right guess I should have clarified "they" a little better
Watching people trying to drive in the snow is almost as good as hanging at the boat launch in the summer
