I found that when the temps are below the posted speed limit, the tires usually don't work very well for traction.

Once when I was 20, a friend and I though it would be cool to take the Jeep - CJ7 to Killington VT, camping/skiing. It was 50 degrees, late May, and 10pm when we left Connecticut with NO top or doors on.

By the time we hit Greenfield MA, there was frost and we still had 80 miles to go. It was so cold driving, we put on ski gear and actualy each got into our own sleeping bags. By unzipping the lower part of the bag, I could get my feet out and operate the pedals. With gloves, hats, gogles, and sleeping bag, I drove the rest of the way.

It was well worth it, and a memory for life. A great day of Sunny Spring Skiing followed.

I can't help to think what the cops would have thought if we parished in an accident. "....what the he!!. Were they driving in their sleep?"
