Left at sunrise this morning and drove to Cheswick, PA and delivered the conveyor.  From there I drove back to the "home office" in Carlisle, PA.  Need to have my APU worked on again Monday.

Got up real early this morning and drove into Dulles, Virginia to a job site right next to the Dulles International Airport where they are building a huge Washington DC Metro Rail maintenance facility.  Loaded a conveyor that is going back to it's home in Cheswick, Pennsylvania.

Left there just after the DC curfew was over but still had heavy traffic.  Out in western Maryland and West Virginia had a lot of snow showers.  It was sticking to the side streets at elevation but the Interstate was fine. Stopped at a small truck stop (still snowing) at the WV / PA state line on I-79.  Could not get through the Pittsburgh area before curfew.  This is the closest truck stop to Pittsburgh along my permit route.  I'll get started tomorrow morning.  If I can get to Cheswick before 11 am I will be able to deliver tomorrow.

The rain that started last night didn't turn to snow as soon as they thought it would.  When I got up this morning there was a light coat of wet snow on the truck and shush in the parking lot.   Drove the rest of the way up to Rochester, NY and loaded a CNC machine that is going to Newton, North Carolina.

The it had to be tarped!!

By the time I left there the snow had picked up a lot.  Here is a view going down the Rochester city streets.

They did a real good job keeping the streets clear.

Followed a tow plow.

Here is a view of the Interstate.

Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Greencastle, PA.

Went back over and got my trailer first thing this morning then delivered the excavator.  Next load is tomorrow up in Rochester, New York.  I headed that way.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Dansville, NY.  Supposed to get between 5 and 8 inches of heavy wet snow tonight and tomorrow.
