Tonight should be fun, wind then ice

Just stay after it I’am about 70 miles west of Mt. Pleasant & it’s not doing anything right now

 

Radar isn’t even showing any freezing precip or wintry mix for Mt Pleasant any time between now and 4am. Just rain is all.

 

Ice and snow are just part of the job if you drive on 40, 70 or 80. Just something you have to learn to deal with. Consider using an app called “Drive Weather”. It allows you to map a route then shows shows type and volume of precipitation along the path. It has a day and time scroll so you can see what the weather forecast is for during the specific time you plan to be in an area.

My rule of thumb is to, if possible, avoid driving in chitty weather when it’s dark. That said, I’ve driven through Wyoming with 50mph winds blowing snow across the highway. Just slow down, keep both hands on the wheel and keep your head on a swivel.

if you stop and wait out weather, especially cold weather, you’ll starve yourself.

Good luck!!!

 

Make sure you have a radar app on your phone. I used the MyRadar app and radar is mostly what I monitored, NOT FORECASTS.

 

There computer models aren’t smart enough to consider ground temp yet.

 

When was the last time a weather report said "don't worry"? 350 days a year there is nothing weather wise to pay attention to, but the weather report never says "ignore us for the next 6 days."
