As ICE agents surged into Minneapolis, they found actual road ice to be more than a match for their wits and driving skill.

Poor choice of tires and no chains. This might be a 2WD model

We don't chain in MN. We're flat enough it isn't necessary. This is 4 inches of slush and shouldn't be a problem.

If you're not allowed fascist asshole, folk will come out and help you when you get stuck.

Ah. I'm in Wyoming where no chains or 4WD equals a bad time.

This past early autumn, I was just in the Idaho/Montana/Wyoming region visiting Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons before the government shut down.

What a gorgeous area. I really wish I was wealthy enough to keep a residence there. I've only been there once before as a child. The pictures don't really do it justice.

The pictures really do not do it justice. I bought an old house here in 2016 and moved in 2018. Back in 2016 the home prices were not insane.

Even with bad tires you shouldn't get stuck in that. driver skill issue.
