MAJOR Winter Storm...

They have about 36 hours to clean everything up before I roll thru!

 

I'm right off exit 70 on 80 in IL...if you're stuck and need smokes and/or beer, lemmeno!

 

Here is a good link for IL roads right now. Stay safe out there.

MODOT is estimating around 8am on Wednesday.

 

Hope everyone stays safe--but if you are in the midwest waiting for it to open--don't get in any hurry--out here in PA--the snow is already over--we are under an ICE STORM WARNING!!--THRU WED NITE. Calling for up to 1" of ice in NE PA--so not gonna be much goin right here till late thursday--and temps are not supposed to get above freezing north of md/pa line till maybe next week gonna be a ##### fro a while!! So hang in where you are and be safe!!

 

I'm sidelined tonight and possibly tomorow as well, running into NYC from eastern PA overnight.

Bah screw it, I didn't feel like working in this pig-slop anyway. Give me 2 feet of snow over an inch of ice and fro-rain any day. (or night as the case may be)

 

missing 2nd day of work turnpike is closed! this is crazy! I'm new to the job and afraid I'm gonna get fired

 

70 opened back up around 7am.

 

I got loaded in Ottawa Il last night, made it to the truck stop on I80 exit 93. And here I sit. I had to pull a stuck bobtail and a stuck mt tanker out of the way before I could get into a spot. There are trucks sitting every which way here.
I think I could move if I tried, but there's nowhere to go. CB reports the ramps to the interstate are barricaded, road closed from 294 to MM55.
