Roger all the way. The 48A2 was 52 tons with a full basic load of ammo. We tried to make it to the ranges after thawing out the suspension of frozen mud at Graf. Had to back up any tanks that would move to the sides of other tanks and let the exhaust free up the tracks & wheels which had been sitting in a foot of solid, frozen mud (The Germans has the same problem in Russia). Then we tried to drive to the range.....a trip that would have taken 45 minutes took us over 4 hours. Mine and two anothers slid about 200 yards back down a hill sideways on the ice. Only thing that kept us from going off the side and probably rolling over was a ridge of frozen mud about 3-4 inches high. Very scary indeed. CO finally used his head and we got off the road and made a new road cross country.
