Well the snow covered road didn't help matters either.

I hope they made it through that Ok.
I keep thinking about that Montana flipping over in Gulf Shores.
We are having a wild wind storm here, last night it was a little worse, but 45 mile an hour winds are rocking the Ozz-mobile.

Glenn you so right! High winds and the snow makes for bad towing and even driving without towing

I watched a guy with a tow behind loose it topping the Sierra Nevada mountains on California / Nevada boarder last summer. They were hit by a crosswind and it just blew them over the side of the mountain. Fortunately everyone was OK but the rig was beat up bad. I could not make any time for the rest of the day, every time the wind jiggled me I about paniced. The mental picture of them going over the mountain gave me a day of white knuckle driving. Looking at this picture makes me shutter even more. Keep the rubber side down out there.
