So I almost ended up in the ditch today as the weather decided to go from full on winter with -10 to -20 and winter roads to +6 degrees and rain instead turning those snowy winter roads to EXTREMELY slippery icy roads in some parts.
About 14 seconds into the clip below you'll see how my truck starts turning a bit, its actually going sideways when it does that. I know it doesn't look that bad but thats only because its filmed in the truck itself and not from a vehicle behind me etc, one thing is for certain tho it sure gave me a mini heart attack.
To show you a bit of how bad it really got today you can check the below link(in Norwegian tho), when I got a bit further south to a place called Bardufoss it was complete chaos with about 9 trucks, 1 bus and a couple of cars that had driven of the road or crashed in some way and the road had been closed for about 6 hours to try and tow them all up...
I only got one thing to say, Ice Road Truckers is nothing compared to this. xD

Oh wow Scary, stay safe Dunno if you ever heard of it but I watch this show called Ice Road Rescue which follows tow truck drivers in Norway both helping stuck trucks and recovering crashed ones, good show I sure wouldn't want to be driving those roads in winter especially when we never even get snow here
-
Ice Road Rescue is a great show but having said that, the objective is to maintain the rather large beasts from getting into the Rescue mode. Lol Still the slide & guide the you witnessed in Noxii's video is not always easy to recover, especially if you panic. The main thing is don't get excited!! I say again, great job kido. :<)

So I just heard some amazing news on the radio and couldn't keep myself from laughing, earlier today a vehicle crashed into a building in the northern town of Gällivare, Sweden. Unlucky for him he didn't just crash into any building but it was the police station in the town, the driver is now under arrest for "reckless driving, driving under the influence of drugs and possession of narcotics". Would totally like to say that its his lucky day, in a town of a lot of houses he manages to lose control and drive straight into the police station...
For those of you who can read Swedish heres the article: https://www.metro.se/artikel/körde-in-med-bil-i-polishusets-vägg-med-knark-på-sig

So I just uploaded a new dash cam clip onto my YouTube channel with some beautiful tunes in the background really fitting the mood of the night and requested by none other than @Digital himself. (PS. That game still haunts me)
-
Ha I never forgot, I was just too lazy to actually sort the clips out and all that on my MacBook and been pushing it a while as you can see on the date stamp. But at least I finally got around to it!
I kinda feel like those songs kinda fit the mood in general that night, like snow, empty roads, darkness and streetlights and all that. Fit quite well together

The new Microsoft Flight Simulator sure is a big step forward when it comes to flight simulation, loved the scenery in this area.
Also did a flight with non other than @London Truckers.FM in some mountain filled terrain in Peru.

The Pro Trucker @Chris - TFM is at it again, this time it's him vs. None NCZ. As you can see Mike Dragon also warned people several times but he just nopes it.

Was quite some load on the Event server tonight, it was fun to see that so many enjoyed it and everyones reactions to the stuff around!
Me, @Anriandor, @Smoky_TMP and @W4chund had set up an accident blocking off 2 lanes due to somebody not being able to drive without smashing into the other, wonder who of them it was tho. So here's a short clip from the accident scene for those of you interested.

"All the promises I made just to let you down, you believed in me, but I'm broken I have nothing left and all I feel is this cruel wanting"

"I realized I was thinking of you, and I began to wonder how long you'd been on my mind. Then it occurred to me: Since I met you, you've never left."
-
"I'm not the one I used to be, I can't laugh anymore. My mind is dark, my blood is cold and lonely I will go. I don't believe in fairytales after you anymore, see you standing with another one.
I feel like never before, I don't believe in fairytales. Try to stop the dark fall fade away with an empty soul, the darkness I will call."
