    So…. Big storm coming in this weekend. Gonna dump 4-10” along the I-70 corridor from St. Louis to wheeling.
    Any bets on number of big trucks in the ditch ? I’m gonna go with 60-70 total.
    We could also break it down to type. Since I’m home since Dec 18th and have no plans to get out there any time soon, my Amazon fingers have been working overtime. So I’m gonna go with box truck making up 90% of the infield with open deck the other 10%.
    Anyone else wanna play? Lol

    I’m picking up in NC tomorrow heading to Portland, Oregon for the 8th early delivery.

    Hoping I can dodge the worst of it because I got no time to play with..

    I was going to take one to Michigan Monday but looked at the forecast for the big cities I go through, which is the first thing I usually do when planning a run in winter. Like 12 inches of white stuff forecast in Cincinnati and 8 or something in Indy.

    I'm not going to Michigan next week.

    I’d say 75% of the 95% will be those with their left hoof up on the dash watching YouTube, or on the phone not paying attention to their mirrors let alone the windshield. And most will be the “oh I don’t need a CB, I have an app for that” crowd….

    Passed a guy the other day had BOTH feet up on the dash. I may not be the brightest bulb, but, my question is, if someone brakes suddenly in front of him, how fast are his reflexes???
