Thought about leaving Fri after work, but impending ice/snow storm changed that. 64 degrees at noon Fri, 34 at 4:30, and by 8:00 everything was encased in a thick layer of ice. Got at least 6 inches of snow on top of that. Got on the road at 10:00 am after getting the drive cleared for my wife. Between Wheeling and Columbus, I 70 was alittle rough, but after Columbus was fine. Only made it about 50 miles past St. Louis to New Florence, Mo., where I am currently shacked up for the night sipping on a glass of bourbon. That was a little over 600 miles, and have about 500 left to go.
Bruce, I have heard that about the roads, but looks like they should be froze up while I am here. Looking forward to getting out and stretching mine and the dogs legs, Don't figure I will kill a lot of birds at this time of year, but happy to just get out.
