Not gonna lie, it is more than a tad chilly out there. A lot of restaurants in our area closed due to not getting deliveries. America needs trucks!

Not mine! At 6AM this morning I drove down to Findlay from Toledo (for a load that we ended up not even getting), and in the 30 or so miles down there the wind nearly blew me off the road twice, because of the slick, icy patches on the road. Several tractor-trailers has been blown off the road. Gusty winds, icy roads, and Sprinters just don't get along and play well together. One or the other, but not both. Newp.

I had problems going the two miles to the post office and back this morning. The fact my 4 wheel drive is out did not help either.

FACEBOOK PIC OF THE DAY: This is the St. Joseph Lighthouse on Lake Michigan. Today, it is encased in ice as the Midwest is hit with a "polar vortex", causing wind chills to reach -50 degrees.

It just MAY have bottomed out. It has been -14 for an hour.

It's days like this that I don't miss....
Diesel fuel gelling.
Extension cords.
Block heaters.
Running 35+ semis & straights.
Outlet breakers popping.
And more extension cords.
