It was not pretty~ People just go nuts when the road gets slippery because they're not used to inclement weather. I grew up out west where we got snow all the time during the winter and living in Ohio now- we have ice, snow, and lots of rain. It just takes time getting used to. I hate the ice, though- you have absolutely no control over your vehicle if you start to slide. I say my prayers! Happy New Year, Alicia!

If I ever build a second house, I plan to fly to Florida, rent a uhaul, and drive around to Goodwills until I have enough furniture to furnish the house.Paula@SweetPeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159609759110718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-90140710240101004512012-12-30T20:08:50.228-08:002012-12-30T20:08:50.228-08:00The Grapevine can be scary even in good weather, l...The Grapevine can be scary even in good weather, lots of truck traffic. I'd never seen it quite this beautiful before.

Mom was not happy though, she doesn't like being in cold weather and snow just seemed like death to her. I didn't even have to use the wipers until it started coming down like slush. If it had been really snowing, I would have turned around.<br /><br />The Grapevine is beautiful, very scenic, even in the summer when all it is is golden mountains. Tehachapi is just as beautiful and it's the home of the Tehachapi Loop and it has beautiful mountain areas as well. We will be going through there on our way to Arizona for a Family Reunion in February, I'll try to take some pictures.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-39508298372247155242012-12-30T12:11:18.699-08:002012-12-30T12:11:18.699-08:00That Grapevine looks scary.

It doesn't matter that I lived most of my life in snowy places - once I got to the coast and saw that there was virtually no snow removal (such infrequent snow!) and that people didn't know how to drive for the conditions, I just said 'I'll stay in until it stops.'Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-55858390405639859852012-12-29T23:45:37.334-08:002012-12-29T23:45:37.334-08:00You must have been in light snow.

The day after Christmas I drove home from my mother in laws and we were getting some heavy snow and I had the wipers on continuous. <br /><br />The Grapevine is quite scenic. I drove to Bakersfield from Victorville a few times when I was in the service and I don't remember that much scenery. I think I probably took 395 and 58 through Tehachapi. Is it somewhat less scenic? Or was I just used to great scenery? I can remember a ridge with oak trees that just seemed to be out of place. <br /><br />Well for all your terror, it looks like you got some nice bargains.
