It started to snow about a half hour before I could start for the day. At a half hour before sun up (when I could start driving) the road conditions were fine. It was not snowing very much so I left. In no time did conditions deteriorate and the snow was starting to accumulate on the road. I decided that it was better to stop rather than get a ticket and have my permit revoked. I only made it 23 miles this morning and stopped at 8:15 am in Brookville, Ohio. When I stopped they were already plowing I-70. Here is what it looked like when I stopped. Maybe 2 inches of snow so far. Glad my APU is working good again!!
I could have driven all day in this but, unfortunately, with permit loads I don't have that option. More updates as the day progresses.
Here in my truck at 9 am. Still snowing hard.
Weather radar at 10 am. Still snowing.
After a nice little nap I awoke to it not snowing anymore. There was 4 inches of nice white power snow all over. The kind of snow that you can't make a snowball out of and that skiers love. I went and had lunch and got back on the road. The road was clear and just wet with a little slush.
The plows were out in force and doing a very good job.
Made it through Ohio and around Wheeling, West Virginia then into Pennsylvania. Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Claysville. I-70, exit 6. This is what my trailer and nice new tractor looked like after driving today.
Noticed that I had a flat Tire on the trailer.
Had that fixed at the shop at the Petro truck stop.
