That play sand comes in plastic bags at the Walmarts that I've been at...not the reinforced plastic bags but they would probably hold up pretty well.

Loved the story that the Car Guys told on NPR a couple of weeks ago about the one brother's "logical" idea that, since he had a waterproof liner in the bed of the truck, he should put some water in there and let it freeze and the weight of the ice would give him weight in the rear and thus give him some traction. I'm sure that you can see this one coming, right? As it thawed out, he had a big ice cube floating arond in the bed that slammed into the ack of the cab every time he hit the brakes and slammed into the rear gate every time he gassed it. Smart brains.

Just slow down...it's human nature to drive to fast for conditions and you have to supress the urge and hope that the rest of the drivers can do the same...it only takes one @$$#*!@ to cause a major accident in icy conditions.

Good luck

Best
