“almost tropical depression” – Bryan
Not a tropical utter despondency, just a kind of tropical case of the blues?
4WD is either the greatest thing since sliced bread, or the most dangerous technology since the automobile itself. People who don’t know how and when to use it, and what its limitations are, repeatedly wreak havoc on the roads here. I no longer go out on a bicycle when the roads may be slick, not because I can’t control the bicycle (generally most skids can be avoided or controlled by those of us who put in enough “skinned-elbow equity” in our childhood), but because the idiots in allegedly off-road vehicles are clueless about how to control their larger, heavier vehicles… and a cyclist is sure to lose such a confrontation.

We are pulling people out of ditches down here as they think 4WD makes it possible to drive at high speed through standing water, and have no idea what to do in a skid.
