    I busted my rear to leave Fl on time sunday morning to beat the storm. Stay overnight just outside of nashville. Woke up there monday morning to find 6 inches of that fluffy stuff on the ground. Once I hit the KY line it all went away. If I didn't leave when I was suppose to I probably would still be down there right now enjoying the warmer weather.

    I decided to go into Atlanta Tuesday. What a mistake jackknifed trucks every where.
    When i arrived at the receiver there was no one there to accept my load. I had to sit there for over 24 hrs before someone finally came to unload me. After I was unloaded I got stuck going up Peachtree road to get back to 285. After an hour of backing and making a good run up the hill . I had to go up 85 to pick up another load. I went back down to 285w to 75n. I was scared for the big truck going 285s they was stuck on the exit ramp sliding down. Lucky for me I went 285w trafic was heavy, there was alot of ice and wheelers spinning out. I am so glad to be safe and north without incident. my heart goes out to those who was not as lucky as I was

    If all those people had held onto their urine bottles instead of tossing them in the bushes, those roads would be clear. All that brine gone to waste.

    South Carolina was clear and dry yesterday. I came down 85 into Atlanta today... still a few slick spots in the outer lanes in and around the Metro.
