    There was zero need to go around Wyoming this time frame. I wouldn't have paid you either and somebody gots to pay some Oklahoma tolls.

    Google is not a weatherman and you have to be careful with Google. Sometimes it's easy to inadvertently change the transportation mode from Driving, to hiking or biking mode.

    It’s 5am. Wyo511 reporting black ice around Cheyenne. That’s Wyo511, not google. :laughing-guffaw:

    Please refer to the original post. But regardless. If you avoided Wyoming every time there was a 20 mile stretch reporting patchy black ice, you'd go broke.

    2hours later you’re surfing the net.
    Make up your mind. Driving or surfing.
