    Saw the Fed Ex truck still there last night. I hit that crap in Watertown South Dakota and spent the next eight hours easing on down to Waverly Nebraska for the night. Woke up to a 100% improved I80.

    I spent five years driving from Dallas to Fargo weekly. This is was my first trip up there since last January and I do not miss it one bit. Kansas this morning at 35 degrees with dry roads never felt better.

    They must get different snow and ice down there. Its a very rare day that I've seen roads get bad enough to have to slow down more than 15-20 km/h below the limit.

    And THIS mess right here is why I kept my butt parked down by St Joseph MO Friday. My delivery was into Omaha, which may as well been ground zero for that blizzard.

    Yeah I might have lost some miles and some money off my next paycheck, but ain't none of that mess worth me losing my health over...screw that.
