Yeah, or Western Michigan! It has been blizzard conditions since about Thursday. I think we probably have had about 2 feet of fresh snow since last week. Temps around 0 - 10 degrees also. So cold and crappy the freeways still aren't cleared. Looks like it may get up to a balmy 20 degrees by Thursday!

The trip to Swanton (Toledo) wasn't too difficult except up on the Allegheny ridges at 2200ft level where there was snow ice and a bit of fog going over I80. Afterstaying overnite in Swanton got the brand new Haulmark 9x12 from Zero Gravity Trailer sales (very nice people to deal with) and ran up US 23 to Flint MI and then to Lapeer where the car was. High winds and some blowing snow in the fields but nothing major except the cold and the empty trailer held up well (it has the round nose not the V). By the time we loaded everyting in the truck bed and trailer it was in hard blowing snow. We left to go back to Toledo via MI24 to I75 through Detroit. It has been many years since I lived and drove in upstate NY and I had forgotten just how bad it is to drive in whiteout conditions. Fortunately snow ended by Toledo and our run over I80/90 to Cleveland was only windy. Stayed in Independence and visited Jeff Blumenthall. Admired his two KBS cars and discussed setups etc. Next morning windy but sunny and no snow so had a pretty tame trip but chose to go over the PA Tpke (world's most expensive toll road) so we could go thru the ridges rather than over them. After stopping in Harrisburg to see my oldest daughter who I hadnt seen since her wedding five years ago had a tame trip up thru Jersey/NY and CT getting home to find the furnace had gone off during a power interruption 24hrs before. Fortunately no pipes burst but it is pretty bad when the truck is warmer than the house. I have to say that the Haulmark trailer towed flawlessly even in wind and snow. I now have a great respect for the people of the Lakes states who have to battle such conditions every Winter. I also now remember why I left upstate NY affter driving in and shovelling the "white rain" in zero and sub zero temps from 1954 until 1971. Anyway the new addition is sitting in the heated garage. Oh yeah I guess there was some game I listened to on the radio as we were heading back Ed Capullo --------------------------------- Don't get soaked. Take a quick peak at the forecast with theYahoo!
