    Did you learn your lesson? Next time the wind is blowing 50+ MPH and you're only pulling 5,000 lbs you have to sacrifice yourself for company.

    Yesterday rolling from Ogden to SLC empty wasn't too fun. I-80 was closed west of SLC due to 85 MPH wind gusts (it wasn't that strong on I-15).. I've been less nervous driving across Wyoming.

    Best wind knowledge....this....http://hint.fm/wind/ zoom in, drag to your location, you'll catch on. No highway overlays but you know where you are if you zoom in close enough.
     
    RMU91 and sunsation288 Thank this.
