    Issued: 3:54 AM Jan. 11, 2020 – National Weather Service
    ...COLD WEATHER WITH A CHANCE OF LOWLAND SNOW...

    Cold air will move south through British Columbia this weekend. On
    Sunday, a weather system will arrive as cold Fraser outflow develops.
    Rain will change to snow in the Bellingham area and in the San
    Juans on Sunday. Cold wind chills will develop and blowing snow
    will be possible around Bellingham and in the San Juans.

    Cold air will spread south through the rest of Western Washington
    Sunday night along the modified arctic front. Temperatures that fall
    below freezing can lead to icy roads after even light snowfall.

    Areas along the coast and across Southwest Washington will not
    avoid the cold snap. A weather system moving into Oregon on
    Monday could affect southwest Washington. At this time it looks
    like most of the moisture with that weather system will remain in
    Oregon but stay tuned to updated weather forecasts and prepare
    for wintry weather.

    Needless to say we're back on the road again.

    We got unloaded early. Which never happens at that receiver. So The OM is like, "See. God wants us to get a to go box."

    And I'm like,"No. You want a to go box."

    Doh! I’m down with air problems again.
    Bobtail... press brake. Air leaks. Pull parking brake. Sits there but won’t build up.
    Tow truck coming. Hopefully our shop at terminal in Omaha can fix it.

    I talked to shop yesterday about air and water. I pull air every time I get out of truck. Get water 2 to 3 times a day. Never had a truck spray water vapor when I drain water. This one does.
    I didn’t bother to bleed water last night. Got down to 4 degrees. If any. It’s just ice. Won’t do nothin.
    Ive been draining water on this like crazy. Shop didn’t think it pressing enough to address before next maintenance.

    Well if you're in wet conditions, you're gonna have water in the tanks and need to bleed off more.

    You're air leak problem could be associated with that because water has frozen a valve open someplace.
