Looking a lot like Christmas
Was doing a job in Louisevile a few years ago when a "blizzard hit" (approx. 2" . One Kentuckian's answer for improved traction for his pick-up truck was to put his tailgate down and have the wife sit on it while he drove down the highway. Now we were all moving pretty slow with the weather and all, but this seemed like an unlikely solution to me, although somewhat effective. She was a rather large women.

Iowa, I hear ya', I have an uncle who lives halfway between LA & San Francisco, he closes his pool for the 'winter' because it gets down into the 50's and who would want to swim in weather like that!!!
He called up here to my place talk to his 'big sister' and to see how she was after having some tests done, since they were in the city they we're bunking with us. He got all upset when all he got was voicemail, he assumed that something had gone wrong. When we told him he got the VM because we were all in the pool he thought we were pulling his leg. He had checked the weather and it was only in the mid 40's here.
I agreed but said it was a nice night and the pool was warm, he thought we were NUTS. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
Heck, the 30's overnight is only a lovely fall night.
Best of luck.

Murf, are you sure you were at Keeneland, the airport (Bluegrass Field) is across the highway from Keeneland. This allows all of the oil barons direct access to the track. The Marriott is located on Newtown Pike close to I-75 on the north side of town.
I don't mind snow. I have a company SUV and a personal SUV, therefore I can go most of the time. There is nothing like a fresh snowfall early in the morning. In February of '03 we had a bad ice storm, much worse than any snow.
Beagle,
You have been listening to Jeff Foxworthy. There are several places in Kentucky and other states, that you could find a woman riding in the back of a pickup.
Also, you spell it Louisville and say Louville.
Have a good weekend, Dave

Dave, you're right, sort of, it was the Fairfield Inn, at 68 & 4, they are part of the Marriott chain.
I was going to leave the 'rather large woman' on the tailgate comment alone. I have seen stranger.
Best of luck.

Murf, check out my pictures 9 & 10. This is the ice storm of February 2003. This occurred on a Saturday night and just about shut down central Kentucky.
I am an engineer with an electric, water, & cable utility. We had about 5,000 customers out due to the downed trees and power lines. As a result I had to work over the weekend.
Most overhead conductors had 1 to 1.5 inches of ice buildup. We design for 0.5 inches which is consider heavy loading. However, according to the National Electric Safety Code we are located in the medium loading district which is 0.25 inches.
Who says winter isn't fun. Dave
