Worked great and I never had the fan on full either.
Only place I got some fogging was when I had the drives window down to take a pic.

Exactly. On ice and six tires spinning is tougher to steer then the rears only. Kind of like torque steer on the old front wheel drives except add some power to it.

Funny I didn't hear about that storm..

I hate it when you come up on those storms, you're right, you have to keep going or you could get caught in the middle of some bumper cars..

That storm kinda came outta nowhere. Apparently 3 big rigs piled up on highway 11 north of Regina, and the driver of the rig in the middle was killed. These storms are no fun, but it had pretty much petered out by the time I ran into the remnants of it near Hearst ON.

I was in one coming home from Regina in 1997 about 2 weeks before I bought greatwhite and this is no word of a lie, you could JUST see the rams head on the hood of my 81 Dodge. Like someone was blowing snow with a tractor mounted blower straight at you. So I'm crawling along, drivers window down watching the center line beside the truck to make sure I'm on my side of the road, while my dad looks in front to make sure nothing is parked there, when some hero in a Sunbird pulls out and passes me!?! 5 seconds later we meet a school bus loaded with kids coming the other wy (don't ask me wwhat it was doing out there). I said to dad "It's a good thing that (bad word) didn't hit that bus 'cause I'd have been forced to kick the **** out of him before I asked if he was okay.

Wild pics Scotty. Must be boring down south with only bare dry roads. (Why do all those people have 4X4's?) And they never learn to drive. Just sit and steer.
