It's been a little crisp here for the last week, hovering in the -35 range. Had to put on a jacket this morning.
My turn to drive this week, and truck has been working great. Takes a couple minutes for the square tires to get round, but other than that it pumps out the heat, shifts properly, etc. Even the heated seats come in handy on these cool days. Drive a little slower, take your time, and everything will work out. Only thing extra I do is carry boots, mitts, wooly hat for the just in case stuff.
I left my house in Goddard at 5:45pm to get to Bel Aire by 6:30. Kellogg was horrible, 235 was worse. I watched two different people who thought they could still do 50+ slide off the roadway. I went 40ish almost the whole way and still hit a couple patches of ice that caused a bit of a pucker factor.
My guys and I are going to busy all night working accidents, in fact I'm waiting on a tow truck right now.
Thank you Shaun for your public service, you all don't get enough praise from the public! Stay safe out there, its pretty bad up to your north. The KanDrive has us with more snowpacked than the guys in north central who are dealing with icy roads.

Thank you very much.
It was an interesting evening, the roads started to clear until the freezing fog rolled in and they went to crap again. Not too excited about getting back out in it again tonight. Earlier they considered shutting down US54 due to visibility and ice issues.
The only thing I'm seeing is a blizzard warning in my forecast, around 8" of snow, and high winds. Temps don't look that bad, but we'll wait and see. If I have to get out, I hate to do it, the 150 is spotless and tucked away in the barn, but if it's really bad Christmas day, reckon I'll have to get it out. Otherwise, my Ranger will likely be fine.
Anyone out there, be careful, look way ahead of yourselves, and be safe, especially you Shaun and the rest of the LEOs.
