I know for some of you this is nothing but for SoCal this makes for a really fun drive home. This was the 5N freeway just before Lebec at 4:30 this afternoon. These are not the worst photos either. When it got really bad I couldn't take pics for obvious reasons.

Traffic stopped on the uphill side a couple times and because of the traction loc in my truck I would start to slide sideways to get going again. One time I had to stop to allow a semi in the truck lane to pass because I was sliding into his lane. Thought I was going to spend the night on the freeway several times. half a mile later and I'm on the downhill side and heading home.

20 Minutes after making it through they closed the vine........Lucky me!!

Those pics remind me of the time I did that same ride on my motorcycle in similar weather (but the snow flurries weren't as wet) to go to Bakersfield to ask my wife's folks for her hand in marriage. That was 20 years ago, but it seems like yesterday.

Glad you made it home safely.
