I've been keeping an eye on this sucker. Officials in Indiana were already shutting down parts of I-80 and I-90 due to this storm. I hope the powers that be will cancel my trip to PA on Monday.
KMSP has shut down because of this storm....

20 mph with hazard lights on got me around Kent at about 7 PM this evening. The roads were definitely slick, but being steady and braking in advance were the clues to a safe trip.

If only everybody would do the same.... I saw at least 5 cars in the ditch down 80 on Monday night. One was a knuckle head who passed me doing 70 when the road conditions warranted 55. I caught up to him about 20 minutes down the road with his car buried up to the hood with snow.

Dude!! The samething happened one year while drive'in I-77 Northbound. This moron passed me up in the high moutains during heavy snow in a 1995 Grand Cherokee doin every bit of 75. I could bearly get my van past 40 without wheel spinning when going into over drive. Two semi trucks passed me doin 65, a few mins later, this moron shoots by me! About 10 or so mins down the road, i follow the Cherokee's tracks, which started him off in a long back end to the right drift. He drifted for about 800 feet, over corrected, slide to the left, over corrected, slide to the right sideways, went off into the median, flipped over and slide about 300 feet on his roof. He was wearing a Business suit with a light brown trench coat and yapping on a cell phone when i eased by him. I tooted the horn in passing and he threw me the bird. The memories.
