Looks like shorts and flipflop weather to me!!!!

LOL. Where do you have to head today??? I hear the roads are a mess in much of the lower Mid-west. The snow went south of me here.

When I was in Junior High, the Superintendent lived about 30 FEET north of the school. He figured if HE could get to work, YOU could get to school - even if you lived 15 miles out in the country....

Jon,

Don't take any chances out there (not that you need to be told).

Just stay off Indiana 75.

be sure to shovel off your roof before you leave. I saw one sitting at the scale two weeks ago shoveling off.

I was supposed take my daughter to Kalamazoo to catch the train to Lansing last night. We never made it out of the driveway. Doesn't look much better today. She wanted to visit friends before she flew back to Oklahoma and OU.

After they insist you make it in they tell you they'll be "working from home".

Understand it went about 15 mile north of me. Acording to news they had a few inches and I had rain and a net loss of some snow yesterday, then last night possibly an inch.

What, he was "legal limit" and the snow made him
"overweight" ?

Jon, I'm not trying to steal the thread, but I notice that you have co-phased CB antennas on the truck. Ever think about switching to HAM radio, get the easy "No-Code Tech" license. I know that a lot of the truckers out-West here have switched because of all the garbage and foul-mouthed language on CB.

Take care in all that "white stuff" & be safe.

I saw on the news that at least one state now requires snow and ice to be removed from the tops of vehicles.
I can see it coming....It won't be long until a few truckers take a tumble while clearing snow off their rigs and OSHA will come up with regulations on how to do it safely....and fines for those that don't.

They already exist. Trucker will have to have a safety harness and be tied off - basic fall protection applies.

Height Bar should have knocked it off, if not the first low under-pass will. LOL!

New Jersey I believe has had that law for years now.

I took that state off my list along with CA and their goofy CARB
laws.

On my way to Ann Arbor today I saw two weigh stations with a truck in the lots. Looked like they stayed the night. But when I went by the ramps were covered in, not just fallen/drifted snow, but the plowed snow off the main interstate lanes. More then three feet of thick. I think they will be there a while.

Quebec will put 6 points on your license for leaving snow on the
roof. Some outfits have a snow remover to drive under to clean
the trucks off.

A machine does that for school buses now. Blowers are permanently mounted the right height & buses drive slowly thru it on their way out of the yard. Takes about 2 minutes. Snow doesn't come off as easily as you might think sometimes, even with powerful twin blowers.
