[@rogerkiok2491]

Good Evening from Mönchengladbach Germany. When it is snowing the landscape imagines majestic and slowed down.

[@jamesa.7604]

Hi Mountain Man Mike! Thanks for bringing us along for your first snow run this season. Always enjoy road running with you. Keep fighting off that crud and stay safe out on the roads.

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@jessicamelu3353]

I love how you teach us what you are focused on and how you work through traffic in winter conditions. You are priceless! Stay safe and keep trucking

[@charleshicks3492]

Good to ride along; been quite a while 😎😎😎😎😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@lynleewilliams2132]

Your the only person I know that makes snow look fun 💟

[@lynnwisinski4970]

Great video! My old stomping grounds! I use to work in Park City and lived in SLC. And by-the-way I-80 down that hill is very dangerous hill! Seen many accident and the deer are all over the place too. Right past the summit they now have a bridge for animals to cross over!

[@ronaldsamol3779]

Thanks for the snow video they are the best. Hope to see more

[@david9192]

[@777Timberwolf]

Merry Christmas to you Mountain Mike and your Family. Drive safe as always... PEACE !!

[@alisonrogers3286]

Hello from Summer in Queensland, Australia. I love these trips through the snow with you. Living in the sub-tropics we don't get snow and only have a frost a few days a year. Stay safe.

[@patrickmulligan7994]

[@fritzmichaelusa]

Thank you very much for these videos. The time that you take and what you do is appreciated ✌️☮️

[@themuzakman2416]

Thnx Mike. I think the slow traffic would make me more nervous than the weather conditions. Safe travels to you sir Godspeed.

[@DanielPerez-ee3wp]

Hello!!!. I'm from Connecticut and I am watching your video right now, just so you know.😊👍

[@rileymorgan9084]

Had the ice. Yesterday morning coming east out of Gallup New Mexico.

[@rickfarina]

[@alsup11]

Good evening Mike just now getting to watch. Another great ride along. Yes a lot of tankers on that highway. Stay safe out there.

[@larrybe2900]

Anyone know what they haul?

[@barbsteward5166]

I love riding along anytime but snowy conditions are my favorite.

[@719beauty]

What i learned today.... heating strips for your windshield. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had no idea!!

[@scrapbookvinylplus2320]

Great to have some new videos. I love doing work with your videos on. We are both working while you drive. I know it’s a lot of work to do these. Very appreciative!!!

[@donquixote8410]

Another great ride Mountain Man Mike. You rule the snowy roads. Everyone get out of his way. HaHa.

[@leanderpukade]

Immer wieder schön mit dir die Touren zu machen. Würde ich auch gerne fahren!

[@bigwoodrz]

[@billclements3879]

Thanks for the cool ride along

[@sherrymatkin635]

It's so great to see you back!

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Good Afternoon MMM!!!!! Always enjoy riding shotgun... Thanks for the ride,

[@dj4rapz]

Love the snow and the cold weather!

[@vernowen2083]

I can remember a stormy spring night, westbound on 80 in Nebraska. SW winds pushing 45 mph, gusting to over 60 and I was light. Trailer was across the white line while the tractor was in the lane. Finally got off the road and parked behind a closed Wendy's to get out of the wind, until the storms passed.

[@sandrahankins8488]

Yeah I get to ride in the snow

[@robertsigsworth8229]

Had our first snow yesterday, needed to go across town, (quite hilly) picked the flattest rout, and saw cars stuck on each hill I decided not to use. Car in front of me doing 5mph on glass like packed snow, no wonder they get stuck, barley enough momentum to keep it going even on the flat. Love your driving fastish but safe. thanks for another great ride.

[@warrenmills5081]

Thanks for the videos u make I enjoy watching them.

[@keith01956]

Thanks for the ride along & stay safe

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Well Mike had you been across here in the lower UK , I am guessing like the other stranded motorists you would not have been travelling very much, as thick snow caused untold trucks and cars to simply pull in and park up as best they could , as conditions worsened by the mile. That was two days ago 13th December '22 when the UK came to almost a complete standstill and there is more to come. Cheers Mike for showing us your expertise !!

[@patrickmulligan7994]

Is the snow that bad?

[@solarapocolypse5355]

@@patrickmulligan7994 I guess so, my girlfriend who is in the UK said all trains and busses were cancelled all day Monday due to frost and snow. Trains had no traction on the icy rails. It is interesting how little snow can cause such issues in places that do not usually experience it.

[@tinkerlynch5276]

You're a brave soul my friend !!! Safe trip !!!

[@davidtfoster8016]

We always like it when you film us a ride along. Been missing the frequency of them but understand.

[@lumea_lui_grigo]

Drive safe buddy! Cheers from Romania 🇷🇴

[@ethanfrank9059]

Love ya man. Love riding with you. Next time you come through salt lake let me know. Coffees on me. Stay safe

[@jamesparks1966]

Hey Mike good to ride along big with you sir stay safe out there

[@hootwho3640]

Hello hello hello Mr. MMM! So wonderful to ride again.

[@TankerDave]

I got into the snow on I-17 south of Flagstaff on Tuesday. When I made it back to Phoenix, I tossed a bucket of chains into the tractor cab.

[@ronniethorsen3458]

Looks like the Jiffe Puff Man exploded . Safe travels Moutain Man. Thank you for your service, Amigo.

[@andrewj4442]

Another exciting trip with Mountain Man Mike! Thanks! Safe travels!

[@yadigarcia1904]

Love these videos. Anytime you take the trouble to make one of these - driving in the snow video- it is a true treat. Look forward to them. Thx.

[@susanr.1963]

Evening Mike, safe travels, and Merry Christmas!!!!!

[@bobclavile5653]

[@conniegnesda9720]

Nothing wrong with being scared! It may be their first time driving in it! You have been doing it for years. I hope I never get in front of you!

[@tylerhaynes8546]

Thank you for the awesome weather fix each video. It's hard being the weather freak I am living in the desert of southwest Utah

[@lindacarpenter8071]

Glad to see you back

[@keypenny]

Hey Guy, load up on vitamin C, zinc, and garlic ! Garlic is considered to be an old German penicillin remedy for colds ! It's best if you can take it just as you feel your symptoms coming on ! Best of luck, wishing you the best "Merry Christmas &"Happy New Year! " to you and yours alike ! 🎄❤️🎄

[@scottheitmanmarinesurvey3557]

Evanston WY. I80 closure yesterday was interesting. Must of been close to 2000 of you guys. Three trucks deep on every ramp farther than the eye could see.

[@snolow]

[@sunnyray2048]

🍭SWEET🍭🚛Rubber Down, Metal Up Mike🚛🎄👍🏼

[@lindabriggs5118]

Used to live off Hwy 40 in Roosevelt. Drove that road many a time headed to Provo or Salt Lake City and back. It can be a nasty drive at times.

[@harrisagogetter]

gotta drive this way on my way to seattle in the next month. Hope the weather isn't this bad.

[@lindacarpenter8071]

Merry Xmas and happy new year

[@DD-bn2mx]

good stuff, thanks

[@deniseboudreau324]

Love it. Another great video. Hope we get to see the video of Moab and Farmington. Like the comment about deer at Meeker, surprised it wasn't elk. Hunting is good around Hamilton. Can't wait to see the next video. We got our first snow that will stay today in Iowa. A little bit icy. Be careful out there.

[@jackball4201]

Hey Denise, way more deer accidents than Elk from Rifle to Meeker and west to Rangely. A slightly sick joke here goes "Why do deer always come to the side of the road to die?"

[@deniseboudreau324]

Jack Ball Deer are a problem everywhere. I know Elk hunting is a big thing in that part of Colorado. I have cousins who live near Hamilton.

[@jackball4201]

Yup another joke we get here is"At what elevation do deer turn into Elk?". Deer at dusk and early morning, elk late at night. Especially from Meeker north through Hamilton and on to Craig. Used to be the best elk hunting in Colorado. First saw RIDING SHOTGUN on a video he did 3 years ago coming through and stopping in Steamboat then through Meeker and on to Grand Junction. Wen t by the house i was raised in. The rest is history. d

[@deniseboudreau324]

Jack Ball so you know the Waddle Creek area? The ranch on Waddle Creek has been in my cousin's family since 1902. The family has been in NW Colorado since 1879 when they ran a freighting business from Meeker to Rawlins. A little different than the trips Riding Shotgun makes today.

[@jackball4201]

Hey Denise never been in that part of the country but been past the turn off from CO Rd 317 going to jobs past Pagoda. Our family came into the country in the 1880s and ended up building the Meeker Hotel. The Harp family had a stage line from Rifle to Meeker but I never thought about going north except I knew my family came south from the railroad in WY

[@bobevansIW]

I like your style of driving....you don't like to hang about 😉. Great video, I'm guessing you've backed up one of those things before 😉😂 I do miss the grunt of those Volvo's, the last one I drove was an F10.....🇬🇧

[@redsorgum]

Cool, a snow adventure……🥶😉

[@karenpaquin927]

Keep Trucking 🚚

[@karenpaquin927]

It's a snowy day!

[@bhinbayoucity5691]

At the end of the video I thought u were waiting to make a left turn at that light! Lol.

[@jackball4201]

HDS coming through LOL. Parleys west bound is always fun, SEE you on the next one

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes you got right peace

[@paulson6270]

Hello Mike, Now I like watching you drive in the snow. Safe Driving. Thanks for letting me ride shotgun.

[@HardRockMaster7577]

And about 2 weeks later a 700 miles stretch of I-80 was closed from Wyoming to Nebraska!

[@reclininggamer]

I was wondering with the weather out there if you would be doing a video. Thanks

[@DeltaMS]

Omgosh you drive so fast in the snow. It’s scary to me! But I know you’re a pro!

[@justbe4481]

Hey speedy good to see you Mike

[@imanutnur7]

You missed your calling. You should be Santa's driver as much as you love snow.

[@andtheCradle]

Good Morning Good Morning MMM!🤠 Nice to hear from you again more often!! Oh,the first Snow in the neighborhood! Have Fun on the snowy Roads and stay cool and proof! Oha,a Swift Truck in Snow!!! SWIFT : slow Wanker in fast Trafik!!!🤭 Yeeehhhaaa! ceep on Trucking! Greetings from Germany!🇺🇲🤠🚛🧊❄☃️🌡🥶🇩🇪💪👋

[@frankwolfe3181]

Put your sun visor down. That way the heat rolls behind it keeping the windshields warm.

[@rickerb7196]

Could you give a little backstory on all those tankers? Where from going where what they're carrying, etc.

[@zhengchen388]

epic parking:)

[@DD-bn2mx]

in the old days, slower traffic would get in the right lane and quick traffic could move into the left

[@wesliebegay828]

No snow in Farmington today

[@user-su5sq5ib3i]

What up. I've been wondering when we were gonna see your first snowfall ride.

[@henryjohnson7822]

Hello Mike what's your key for getting so many views, no fancy camera work or music and you are killing it.

[@bhinbayoucity5691]

Mike, have u ever though of doing live broadcasts from the cab as you're driving from pickup location to drop-off location sim to other truck driver vloggers?
