Winters are not fun when you are a trucker

[flat to the mat]

Thanks for the tips; but I don't think my boss will go for any of that stuff. I haven't enough faith in snow chains to take them over 20 kph. To many times they have thrown themselves into the scenery and I've had to mend them with the padlocks from the trailer boxes.
Headlights are a problem but I also worry about the rear lights when driving in falling or blowing snow. All to often they will get covered with snow; especially LEDs that don't have heat to melt it. If I stop to clean the screen, I always clean the trailer lights first and hope that anybody who is following my tracks doesn't plough into the back of the trailer.

Have you tried spraying the LED lenses with WD40, Chris. I have heard it stops the snow sticking?

It also freezes in the frozen North , as do most things

Oh well, it was worth a try. Stay safe as you can, oh and btw I am another one who thinks that when its time to chain, its time for bed.

Years ago I was a winter regular over the Blanc on hard packed snow and, despite the use of the exhaust brake, always managed to keep it straight.
