    Well I was gonna pull a load from Cedar Rapids to Murfreesboro. But, while sitting at the dock waiting to be live loaded, I get a message from Lincoln asking if I could be in N. Platte by midnite tomorrow instead. I guess this A/M's driver was gonna be a little short on hours headed to N Platte, so now I am swapping loads and headed to N. Platte (away from this next storm)

    Lucky. I’m heading to Belding which is N/E of Chicago. Probably in the middle of it.

    Not really, it's coming up from the AR/OK/TX area headed northeast. When I was planning my route to Murfreesboro, Bloomington and Champagne IL were suppose to only get 1-3" starting tomorrow afternoon, and Indy was only gonna get snow showers with little or no accumulation. St. Louis is already under a winter storm warning until midnite tomorrow night.

    Hold the phone, they changed it a bit. This is for Indy

    I hope that storm moves quick. I deliver in Denver at midnight, then pick up a tcall ld at the drop and head for Virginia for Saturday drop. Hope they get whatever mess there is cleaned up by then.

    I think Virginia is in the clear.. The storm is expected to run through the upper Midwest through the northern part of Pennsylvania and up to the north east… But as always of course weather is subject to change as mother nature will do what she wants

    Yeah but I'm sure my route will take me across 70 all the way to st Louis then pick up 64 into Virginia so I'll be heading through the southern end of that mess by Friday.

    Oh, and update on my bunk heater.

    It works... for now. Parked at Brush CO for last 20 hours. Temps got to -3°. Bunk heater kept me toasty warm all last night and today. Had to restart it once as the 10h limit killed it but it restarted without a hitch. I'm HOPING it keeps working through the rest of the cold season ... fingers crossed

    I'm in Cedar Falls and it's 15°. I had to 'assist' mine into starting today. It's been doing the 'third times the charm' since before hometime(tries to fire up and fails twice, but gets it's act together on the 3rd try), but today it decided to give me problems, and it's gonna be 1 tonight here and -5 in N. Platte tomorrow night. I may stop at Wally and get me a camping propane heater in case I ever get to the point where it waits until there is no motel around before it refuses to run for good.
