Got stuck on ice there and waited 24 hrs for a tow truck to come and get me out. Then, I went a whole six miles and gave up again after getting stuck TWICE on ice on the interstate, getting going again only after the truck behind me gave me a shove. That took 4.5 hours. Parked on the street all night and got going the third day and made it to W. Memphis by 6 pm. Sheesh! I would NOT let the student drive in it either! He's from Florida and doesn't know how to drive in snow.
Squeals like a girl when the truck slips sideways into another truck, too. He now trusts my driving skilz a lot more than he used to.
I took a few pics but you'll have to wait until I find the cable to d/l them.

Do you use chains? They're frequently required in Colorado, but I don't know if most trucks carry them.
