Very good day on the road today.  Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Started off dry but quickly changed to light snow, then very heavy snow.  Can't tell from the photo, but the snow flakes were huge. They were about the size of a quarter, so I knew the snow was soon going to change to rain.

Sorry about the windshield wiper in the middle of the shot

About ten miles before I got to Kentucky it had change over to all rain.  Continued to rain the rest of the day.  My pilot escort car was waiting for me at the Illinois / Kentucky state line.  He fell in behind me as I went by.  Had another good one today.  He did an excellent job.  Went through Nashville in the rain and had no traffic problems.  That is rare in Nashville.  Same thing in Chattanooga.  When I crossed over into Georgia he dropped off because I don't need him in Georgia.  I didn't go much further and stopped at a truck stop in Ringgold, Georgia for the night. Tomorrow will be a short day.
