    Hate to bug you and reply if/when you get time, but I gather you reside on the east side of Idaho. Could you tell me who you run for?

    Donner is getting hit hard right now. Eb traffic is being held at Gold Run because of wrecks.
    Was 64 and sunny here today..

    Yeah was supposed to leave out of Sacramento today. 50 mph wind gusts on top of all that snow and me with 15,000 in the box. Hell no I'm waiting till Sunday morning instead still supposed to be a mess but less wind and sorta less snow we will see. Besides sitting at home watching wild card games so yeah.

    I left a day early to go westbound over Donner, and decided to take the scenic route (running non-HOS expedited), so I took 70. Nothing but rain.

    Woohee! I need to do that again int he summer on a motorcycle! Even in a van, that's too much of a good thing.

    Eastern Idaho is getting some pretty good snow right now... No wind, lots of snow (2 inches in about 1.5 hours or less)... And it is absolutely peaceful quiet out side. I love this kind of snow.

    Couldn't agree more Cattleman. A few inches of snow never hurt anything. It's the wind and ice that ruins the peaceful setting. Safe travels.
