The rain changed to snow last night. Maybe an inch or two fell. When I got up it was still snowing but by the time I finished breakfast it had stopped. I left a little after sunrise. I started off west bound on I-90. The winds changed direction from yesterday. Very heavy wind from the north and blowing the snow that fell last night. The plows were out and doing a pretty good job of keeping the road open. I didn't get to where I wanted to today. The wind and blowing snow were just too much. I thought that if I continued on my permit might be in jeopardy due to the conditions. Plus, I was at the point where my permit route took me off the Interstate and on back roads. Wasn't sure how the road conditions were on them. So I decided to give it another day for conditions to improve, and for me to feel better. The extra sleep I have been getting has really helped. I stopped at a small truck stop in Worthington, Minnesota. There is a pretty good restaurant here. Here is an edited time-lapse video of a little bit of the roads and where I stopped for the day.
