    Nah. That's just playing Spin The Cat and filming the outcome.

    You might try getting some rug or other surface they can cling to. Don't know if gluing or velcroing it in place is feasible. Be good if you could take it off to wash it now and then.

    Anyone see the major snowstorm in the upper Midwest today?

    Looks like Arkansas is getting hammered by thunderstorms and possible tornadoes.

    I started this morning in Midland, TX, securing a load in a dust storm with my goggles on to keep sand and grit out of my eyes. Driving to Central Oklahoma visibility was often less than a quarter mile because of all the dust. It was surreal. I did get great fuel mileage from tailwinds in sections, then the hard side winds sucked that away.

    Time for new shocks. Off-road has hammered these shocks in less than a year. This time I will dial up the Gabriel adjustables to extra firm.

    Be sure you park at the high side of the parking lot. I remember fueling at the Love's in eastern Arkansas on night in a raging thunderstorm. When I pulled out a flash flood was in progress, about a foot deep water getting back up to the road. Trucks in lower part of the parking lot already had water up to the bottom of their doors. That had to be a rude awakening in the morning, to sit up from sleep and put your feet in water.

    Or something like this. What makes this interesting is those Schneider trailers flying through the air.

    To answer your original question

    It snowed, it is snowing and it will snow.
    And it is moving east as this is posting.

    I had an excellent spot, but by the time they replaced that tire, all full, so the dude let me squeeze in next to the shop.

    Instead of Dorothy & Toto in the little house, it might be Baby, Mincy, & Dave in Casper.

    Not clear this morning, but not pouring either.

    Baby is ready for his shift.........
