    Single digit (4*) here at La Pine, OR....not a cloud in the sky all day, lots of dust from the roadway....very little evidence of any snow except in the distance on the mountains. Something tells me it's gonna get cold here tonight....but nothing compared to the reports I've been hearing about MT....Billings predicting a HIGH for the net 4 days of -10??????:biggrin_2552:

    Came through there last night. Ran 97 down to Weed, very little snow, a little slick near Biggs, after that, nothing. Supposed to snow in NorCal tonight, per the scale house in Dunsmuir.

    Don't know what fuel blend I've got in the tanks....filled at T/A Aurora, OR....have half tanks. Think I will idle tonight...not a clue as to the gelling temp with this tank....already down to *0*...

    1 hour dropped 4 degrees....just be safe and idle I guess.

    Some of the new trucks don't return much fuel anymore. If you're tanks aren't warmer than ambient, I'd think about dosing the fuel a tad before you leave in the morning1
