    It’s cold where I’m hiding out also 49 degrees. Ain’t putting up with the cold anymore. Done with it. I don’t care the cost in lost revenue, Hoping for some pent up demand, don’t think there is any though. Thinking about getting a real Job. Scary

    Is that the speedway at 66? You’re right on the edge of lake effect over here by the motor city it’s stopped snowing and just cold.

    I’m about 20 minutes east of Madison, Wisconsin and the current temperature is -15 degrees F.
    And that’s without the wind chill. Fact the wind chill in and that drops down to about -30 degrees F!

    I've seen about 40-50 frozen trucks on the shoulder today on I-69 in Indiana, from Indi to Fort Wayne . Maybe over 100 since I start early this morning in Southern Illinois to Detroit , via I-57,70,69,US23, I75.
    I don't know, gelling diesel, frozen DEF or brakes.
    I got lucky this time, I have more additives than diesel in my tanks, blows pink smoke but still running.
