Winter Rants of snow & cold

Morning all. I know some of you are going to brush this off, but I wanted to remind everyone that snow and ice are completely different beasts. Remember not to get to comfident with those snow tires, they don't do squat on the ice.... Also remember those seat belts....

Sprry to seem such a down, but my father was involved in a pretty substantial accident during last Thursday's snow storm. He hit black ice on the highway (going perfectly straight), spun, hit a gaurdrail and then slammed into a stonewall along I-395. He was doing about 45 mph, 4WD and new tires, when he hit the ice and lost control just like that.
 
as far as i can tell from luke facebook he had surgery yesterday?

let us know if we can do anything.
 
it's freaking 50 in s.florida right now, it's gonna get into the 30's later on tonight. I am triple layered.

i still have my shorts on when it's in the 30's...haha...50 would be like swimming weather!
 
Yes Luke, how is he doing?

thanks guys. He did have surgery on Monday. His cheek was reconstructed and titanium plates where put in. We was home that night and spent two days home, but went back to work part of the day today... Still in some pain, but could sit around any longer. He has one bad a** black eye that's for sure. Very lucky all things considered.

Bad news is the truck is totalled, good news is we're going truck shopping this weekend :)
