    Heading your way hopefully today. As long as everyone keeps it on the road over Donner. Should be in Jerome by early tonight. Then Idaho Falls tomorrow for delivery.

    Well this morning I woke up to about 4 to 5 inches of fresh snow... The kind that make good snowmen, fluffy but heavy and wet at the same time... Unfortunately, This is also the kind that can make roads really slick once it gets drove over a few times. So y'all be careful if you are running the I-15 corridor through Idaho today.

    Snowmageddon SLC.
    Yep got a good layer down along the I-15 in Utah.
    Snow still coming down, some areas have sleet and drizzle rain mixed in.

    Slow down a bit, leave a bit more room, give an extra few minutes.

    Lol... Thanks Dave, but I heat my house with a wood burning stove... However, I have and will continue to abstain from the use of accelerants when building any fires... Especially when burning the trash. :D:p

    Lol, nope, spin fest. First westbound, now both directions closed until they find all the wrecks and slide offs. The way it's snowing, that might be March.....

    The amount of single car / truck wrecks now is absurd. My cousin says it's people still can't put the GD phone down even in a snow storm.

    But many will tell you they are careful drivers doing 30 when you can be doing 60, that's why they don't have their GD lights on.

    I cannot understand why people insist on driving in low light or bad weather with their headlights off -

    JUST PUT THE EFFIN G SWITCH ON AUTOMATIC AND LEAVE IT ALONE !!!!!

    Running through Louisiana a couple of days ago in the pouring rain and before sunrise I was amazed at the number of people who didn't have their headlights on.
    Must be a generational thing
