Got on the road after sun up.  Picked the worst time to go through Atlanta.  Rush hour in the rain and fog!!  Of course it was bumper to bumper a lot!  Going under the runway at the Atlanta airport was really cool this morning.  The cloud ceiling was about 50 feet and the planes were landing on the runways that I-285 goes under.  They would just appear out of the fog and rain just as they were going over the road.  Hard to describe but really cool to see.  North of Atlanta drove out of the rain for a little while.  At the top of the mountain in Monteagle there was a bit of sleet.  Then a little freezing rain around Chattanooga, TN.  Fortunately that didn't last long.  

By the time I got to Illinois it was cold and partly cloudy with bright sun.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.  There is a Chili's restaurant across the street so I had a good dinner tonight!!
