Woke up this morning to a snow storm in Fort Bridger, Wyoming.  Heavy snow and wind blowing real hard.  I got a cup of hot chocolate and hit the road.  Not too many other vehicles on the road at 3am MST.  DOT was not even out yet.  Roads were pretty crummy too. 

Here is what I-80 looked like when the sun came up in Wyoming.

Watch me make a Wyoming DOT snow plow appear magically out of thin air!

Here is a WYDOT snow plow that you can actually see

It cleared up a bit for a while.  Went into Nebraska and it started up again.  Here is a Nebraska DOT snow plow doing his thing

The weather continued to get worse. 

And worse

Then the snow froze to my windshield wipers and windshield which made seeing anything difficult.  This is how it looked through the windshield for the last 20 miles.

Stopped for the night at the Flying J in North Platte, Nebraska.
