I'll bet there are all kinds of near-misses going on out there. That icy surface underfoot is NOT to be trifled with!!! My boys are not out touring at the moment. I'm relieved! They've unfortunately had quite a taste of some of that misery on the road in past years. They were touring through the Northeast with another band during Storm Nemo. SHEESH!!!! There've been shows they actually could not get to because their little Sprinter was no match for the rough weather. They haven't yet reached the level of touring in one of those big tour buses with the licensed professional drivers onboard. One local promoter asked what they were driving when I called ahead to ascertain what they might be facing. He advised us to skip it altogether. I'll never forget what he said - "they MIGHT be able to get here. MAYBE. But even if they do, they WON'T be able to get back out."
