    9 degrees in Decorah, it's colder west and south. Drives are buried and town isn't answering phone to plow the ally. We aren't moving by vehicle for a while yet. I never found an official total, actual depth vaies from dusting to six feet deep in drifts, this is in town.

    Boss says we chase after loads tomorrow; we will see, if the yard is like last year, the autoshift is going nowhere.

    7 degrees in Winona MN (S.E. MN on I90), blowing wind with windchills around 15 below zero. We had 16 inches in winona as of 6 am this morning, that was the last I heard but it was still snowing at 6. It is a nasty one and was plowing snow with the bumper on my car trying to get out of my apt parking lot. Its gonna be blowing hard tonight blowing all this snow all over the roads.

    I'm sitting in Salt Lake City right now. Made it through Rawlins JUST before they closed 80 down. Elk Mountain was delightful.:biggrin_25516:
