Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I havent bought a unit yet. I was just thinking of down the line....the handhelds i have are great!! Would like to eventually get a permanent setup in the truck. I ripped out the cb this weekend but left the cable just in case i can use it later

 

looks like you got a touch of snow eh

 

Ah fuck, can't wait to hit the mountain.

 

Depending on the antenna you decide to go with, you may need to change the connector or use an adapter.

 

R2 chain restrictions on 80 and 50? What? I don't recall ever having to chain all 4 wheels on a 4x4.

 

R2 is no chains if 4x4 and snow rated tires on all 4 corners if I remember correctly.

 

This

 

Air conditioner would be better, I think. Removes moisture.

 

News just said chain requirements on all 4x4s. That was what caught my attention. Just looked. R3 is all vehicles. But then it says most roads will be closed before R3 is enforced.

Then I read a little further. If you're towing a trailer, chains on drive axle. If the trailer has brakes, you must chain that axle too...I have trailer brakes.

 

from yesterday:

Chain Control Update:

I-80 is R2 Truckee to Nyack in both directions.

Trucks are at maximum.

SR-89 is R2 Markleeville to Woodfords.
R2 Picketts Junction to US-50.
R2 Bliss State Park to Tahoma.
R1 Tahoma to Truckee.
R1 Truckee to the Plumas County Line.
*Emerald Bay remains closed.

SR-28 no restrictions.

SR-267 is No restrictions.

US-50 is R2 Kyburz to Meyers.

SR-88 is Is closed at the Carson Spur due to snow.

SR-20 is closed Nevada City to I-80.

 

• R1: Chains are required - snow tread tires allowed.
• R2: Chains are required on all vehicles except four wheel drive vehicles with snow tires on all four wheels.
• R3: Chains are required - all vehicles - no exceptions.
• R1 and R2 are the most common conditions. The highway is usually closed before an R3 condition is imposed.

 

I'm headed up there in a hour or two. I'll let you know how it looks.

 

If they enforce an R3, I heard you just have to chain the fronts on 4WD. Is this right?

 

From late last night:

Traffic Alert:

The avalanche on SR-89 south between Alpine Meadows and Tahoe City caught two cars in its path.

Everyone is out safe and no one was injured.

The slide was 200 feet across and 12 feet high at its termination point. No estimated time of re-opening SR-89 south.

 

Hmmmmm....Still looking

 

All vehicles, including four-wheel drive vehicles, that are
towing trailers must have chains on one drive axle.
•
Trailers with brakes must have chains on braking axle.
•
Front-wheel drive vehicles must have chains on front
(drive) axle.

Does not specify which drive axle.

 

handwriting a good cause statement FTL

 

Light rear end? What's that?




























Oh.



Yeah, chains definitely in the rear.
