    Aw heck. We didn't win Powerball. Might be worth 1.3 billion next drawing. Sure could use a million or several.

    Greensburg Pa. Tempature dropping like a rock with a high wind advisory. Gonna get cold. My poor daughter she's 11 we live in Georgia and its 45 degrees complaining she's freezing will be 25 there tonight. But she's cold at anything below 85.

    I was in WA last Monday... got a load in OR on Tuesday and brought it to VA... Ran as much as I could to avoid bad weather... Drove mostly at nights... less traffic... but a lot of fog in many places... Escaped snow though...
    And temperatures were just above freezing... There was a little bit of snow in ID and UT...

    [​IMG]
    Mirrors got nasty... couldn't see a thing... :biggrin_2552::biggrin_25510:

    [​IMG]

    This is how it looks when it's clean...

    [​IMG]

    A little bit more snow on the road...

    [​IMG]

    And some fog...

    [​IMG]

    But it got better in WY and I started to see a little bit of blue skies again...

    [​IMG]

    Parked in Rawlins, WY last week... and then left very early morning... still dark.. temp was a little above freezing...

    [​IMG]

    A lot of fog at night and some sleet.. lasted for 80 miles... but got clear after that...

    Had been pushing the limits... running almost all my hrs every day/night... and parking with a few mins left from my 11...

    [​IMG]

    The fog and the rain stayed with me all the way from MO to VA... night and day...

    [​IMG]

    Parked at this mud hole in MO last week...

    [​IMG]

    More fog in VA...

    [​IMG]

    Bought Rain-X water repellent... it's great... water doesn't stick to glass and mirrors... don't even need to use windshield wipers much...

    Got to where I wanted.. this truck stop in VA... about 4 miles from receiver...

    [​IMG]

    It's a lot big enough for 20 trucks or more... but with all the junk and trucks that are left here, I was lucky to find one spot.. and it was on first row...
    Taking my 34... Will leave tomorrow morning and deliver nearby... After that... DSP will get me something heading towards OKC... truck is a little overdue for PM (preventative maintenance)... I really like the way this company takes care of their equipment... they take it very seriously... that's one of the main reasons I chose this company...

    NOAA weather says that temp here now is 48F and the lowest may reach 30F tonight... under clear skies... Tomorrow will be sunny and 45F... which is very cold for me... But at least no rain and no snow...
    DSP will get me some load going towards OKC for truck PM sometime this week... It will be cold there too but no snow or rain... :biggrin_25519:
    Still counting the days till Spring...
