Tell us, Mooron, what are the stopping distances on 6

inches of powder
vs. wet road above freezing?


What mass, speed and area of friction circle would be

involved in your
Hypothetical Scenario Bobsprit? What depth of Powder,

Temperature....
Standing Water?.... "road" is ambiguous Bobsprit...

Asphalt?, Concrete?,
Chip Seal?, Gravel?, Clay? .... has sand, de-icer or

calcium been added to
absorb water or melt ice?

Shall we engage a scenario you might be familiar with... a

city street?
You claim better traction in a foot of snow than on a

plowed street!! Didn't
You?

Heh Bobsprit.... you think Scotty notices 6 " of powder on

the road when
driving his rig?



Hell yeah, I notice. As soon as it starts snowing I get off
the road and drive through unplowed fields. Much better
traction!
