HWY 63 from Jasper to Lufkin was a sheet of ice. I spun out and off the road more times than I could count. Luckily I was able to ease back on and get to Lufkin. I think the normally 4 hour drive took me 7.
And a 4WD definitely would have helped, I was passed by many.
So dumb. No cell phone, nothing.
