Now the road is uneven and gravel, but I thought I wouldn't have issues getting down. About 2-3 pm the wind picked up and it started to snow so I thought I was being smart and headed down. Got up to mountain real early (around 5am) and got to work. Thought I could beat out a snow/wind storm forecast for the late afternoon. I had to wait until about noontime the next day before I could safely drive down the mountain One good note was I was still on the clock and at least got paid for a miserable night Concrete floors are not good to sleep on (even without a bad back). So I got to spend the night in a little 10 x 10 room, minimal heat and packed full of equipment. The road borders a ledge almost all the way down with no guard rails. There are steep declines and many hairpin turns, and I wasn't about to try. Ok I thought I better get out of here, but couldn't even get my van out of a relatively flat section of road so there was no way I was getting down. There was about a 1/2' of frozen rain/snow on road. The next time I poked my head out of door was a few hours later and noticed all the rain was beginning to freeze and it was snowing out.

I didn't really worry about it at the time and continued working. On Tuesday I was on top of a mountain installing a huge communications system when it began to rain about 3pm.
