    They opened the westbound lanes up this afternoon. Eastbound lanes later in the evening. Now they've blocked off eastbound again.

    What should you do.....drive off into the unknown or shutdown and do a ten hour brake until the snow storm passes and the salt shakers and plows have time to make a trail.

    I fought the snow and wind in KS yesterday, got to Haigler NE and had dry roads. Coming up 27 it was blowing me all over with my empty wagon.

    If you're in Burlington sometimes they don't barricade the old highway if you want to head east.
