What kind of van was that? Looks like a Windstar.
Freestar, a 2005 I think.
Me and Dad have had arguments about snow tires in the past. It had one year old all season Michelins, but I can't remember the type. He spends most of the winter in Florida, so its a bit of a tough call. He feels absolutely terrible about the whole thing. He called my sister in Vernon to let her know and my RCMP brother-in-law asked if he had snow tires on. I'm not sure if just snows would have made much of a difference in those circumstances. Studs likely would have.
Woke up a few times last night. Two images seem frozen in my mind: the big back wheels of the tractor just before I ducked at the last minute, and the big grill and "KW" symbol that were facing me when I got out of the van. The wheels seemed to be heading directly toward me, the bracket for the mud guard hit the B-pillar of my door.
A bit achy this morning, but feeling ok, if a bit jittery. I had already planned on taking December off. Just as well now.
