    I tried that one time. Got stuck in Baton Rouge for three days for a half inch of snow. Shut the whole Mofo down. I couldn't even find enough snow to make a snowball. I felt like I had been quarantined due to a nuclear attack.

    If you notice. Western SD is the center.... seems the winds going in a circle around it...
    Must be the Oil Fields in ND causing it... they're the blame for everything..

    This is my number one chart. This Sunday. Short range forecasts. NWS. Now you have to look at predominant weather and wind as well. But WHY-OH-MING is always a crap shoot with the wind, and 100,000 trucks.

    So I may go BACK over Vail. Not a cloud in the sky.......

    We got a cold front coming in. Supposed to drop down to the 40s a couple nights with a high of 63. Good time to book a load going to the afb in key west.

    Sure enough. You can see the low by wind speed and direction. Man I love a weather map. Gonna watch the weather for a while so I can see a attractive blond talk about Bomb Cyclones. Getting all steamed up here. Lol

    Until you dream that the truck is rolling away and you vault from the bunk, mash the brake pedal and pull frantically at the buttons while screaming.

    Not that has ever happened to me, multiple times, with trainees in the upper bunk . . . .
