MY WORLD

....or DC-3s. The recreation took place just outside of town

It was a DC-4 methinks.

I stand corrected

I just noticed that I stood corrected on my 13th anniversary here. Not the best picture; Northern Lights taken with my phone and they were only out for about 30 seconds

 

[GrauGeist]

That must be an amazing sight!

I have only seen them once, when I was a kid and we had an unusual aurora event that had them faintly appear in Orange County on a cold winter night.

They were not even close to what happens up in your neck of the woods, though.

My son just sent me this. It's near the Pine Pass on Highway 97 which I used to travel on weekly for three years. What you're looking at is ice

 

[FLYBOYJ]

WOW!

 

[Shortround6]

WOW!

what he said!

some idiot with a 4 wheel drive will think he can drive on it at 60mph.

 

[GrauGeist]

Holy chit!!

I run Finnish Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10s on my truck and I would hesitate travelling through that

Northern Lights, magic. Can't say I like the skating ring road though.

 

[GrauGeist]

I'm no stranger to driving in the mountains during harsh winter conditions. Blinding snow, snow drifts and black ice.doesn't phase me...but the sight of that smooth as glass road would have me hit the brakes with a loud "nope!"

 

[Shortround6]

I wouldn't want to drive it using chains on every tire.

A Zamboni could not have done a better job on that ice.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nasty.

Lake Placid, the Olympic Arena . Put on your skates, i will race you.

I once saw (1960) the ice effects on a highway from Colorado Springs to Denver. At a particular curve, many cars had slid off the road on both sides, when a Porsche pulled up near where we were waiting, a guy stepped out, pushed the car onto the ice and tried to steer walking along side. He ended up pushing the doorframe as he and the Porsche moved backwards into the median in veery slow motion. Quite an impression for a boy from the deep south.

Hoar frost last night

​

321 days until Christmas and this clown already has his lights up

 

[GrauGeist]

My Xmas lights are still up as are most of my neighbor's lights - we keep them going until New Year's day.

I had to laugh, though, at the mention of Hoar Frost. Dunno why, but the term reminds me of my ex-wife...

Happy anniversary, be safe and best wishes.

Nice shots George!

I also wouldn't go near that ice road!
