    NDot sucks so bad when it comes to snow removal, just terrible.

    Watching the news this morning...one of the "ticker reports" (bottom of the screen, scrolling)...Tustin, CA, driver called 911 to report he was afraid someone was trying to hijack his load, during the investigation officers discovered 22 tons of pot hidden in his load...guess who got a fancy pair of bracelets for early Christmas!!! I can't find a link for the story.

    I know South Shore and the local communities on the NV side don't bother with NDot, they have the city public works (mostly volunteer firefighters) plowing the roads.

    Oregon still has chain law up on the 5. Storm is over up there but they are letting God take care of it. Lol. That's usually their MO.

    2009.

    I went south out of Albuquerque to a road south east to Sweetwater Texas and through Dallas.

    Got home about the time they opened at Santa Rosa.

    According to the news...it should open up in a few hours...storm is pretty much passed through...but the temps are going to remain cold for a week....I imagine I-80 across NV will be a bit dicey!
