I65 North Stopped Traffic Due to SLEET. Too Early for this Crap

[Knife Lady]

Brad is on his way to Crown Point for the Gun and Knife Show and just called saying he is about 5 miles from his exit off of I65 north bound and he ran into sleet which has stopped both lanes on his side. Good thing he left early. Pulling a trailer behind him is not easy on sleet or ice. He says it is very slippery. So anyone up that way be careful. It is very slippery up there and it will only get worse they said on the radio. So far here it is only raining. Not a good night for the kiddies going trick-or -treating. Dress warm and drive slow. Looks like winter is coming early this year folks. Be safe out there.

Time to put the tow strap in the truck because my non-driving family will be calling to get them unstuck again this year.

AWD is both a blessing and a curse.

Yup, I love my 4WD, if they're not asking to move they're asking for a tow. Be safe people.

Better get the Exwhatthehellever checked out.

I wouldn't say coming early.... Its later than last year.... we enjoyed temps in the 70's last week where as one year prior it was snowing.... THAT was early. I remember snow on Halloween most of my childhood, so I speculate that the weather is right on par.

Same here. We were talking about that today.
I drove home from Chicago a few hours ago, it was mostly rain then. The wind was the real *****.

It's snowing right now in Madison township.

It's freaking snowing outside Mooresville!

Snow flakes mixed with sleet in Greenfield about 20 minutes ago.

Small snow flurries and sleet/rain mix on Indy's South Side right now.

Slushy, sleety crap in Avon.

Put a custom bumper on the back of my Jeep a few weeks ago and got clevis rings for it now. Got two recovery straps and might get a third. Might get more clevis rings. Also have a custom front bumper to go on it and mud tires (hopefully they do good in the snow).

Bardarbunga in Iceland is pumping more sulfur into the atmosphere than at any time since the year without a summer. This winter could wind up being especially harsh/long.

Is that rear bumper tied into the frame? Or just the crossmember like the stock bumper? I'd hate to hear that you tried to pull someone out and lost your bumper is the only reason I ask.

I slipped on the ramp exiting in Bloomington, but quickly recovered.

Tied into the unibody frame via bolts that the exhaust and hitch go in with. Front bumper has tie in brackets that will replace my tow hooks. I take this XJ off road so everything is done correctly.

From my security camera. The stuff on the ground are leaves but the blurred lines are snow. Downtown Indy.

Had a little accumulation up here, but nothing bad. 20'+ waves at the lake front. You can't even see the beaches anymore the waves are coming that far in.
