Woman, nor beast

Our place near Cheboygan, on northern Lake Huron, was in the bullseye of the winter storm that buried the Great Lakes in recent days.

Our neighbor on the lake - a year-round resident - texted me this photo of the view out her front door.

This is the same woman who, during last winter's ice storm, went 12 days without electricity. That was, by the way, her first year of living on the lake.

The power outage was preferable, she said, to the "immeasurable amounts of snow" that forced her to crawl through a window just to escape her house.

"Even my St. Bernard's don't want to be outside," she wrote.

After being down at the terminal about 6 hours, the man had come and plowed the lot. Wolf was able to get his truck hooked to the loaded trailer and get that pulled out of the slot. He came to get me, and said, they’ve plowed, it has stopped snowing just for a moment; if we can get your truck and trailer out, let’s roll. I wandered off in the wind to find my trailer, he got my truck backed out over a 2-foot (60cm) drift.

So we hit the road and managed about 35mph/50kph for the first hour, as the roads were treacherous. We drove 6 hours, past Chicago and South into Indiana, where we put down safely at Remington at 01:30.

Should have taken about 4.5 hours for that drive, but I’m thankful we are safe. We saw a lot of cars spun out or in ditches, but we are heavy and have a lot of wheels on the ground for traction, so if it’s not ice, we can go. We might be insane though.

Thankful we weren't just stuck at the terminal doing nothing until Tuesday.

Work canceled on Monday!!!!!

(I might still have to do a half day remote, but that is besides the point!)

Trucking in ugh weather

Typically we get up, leave the house within the hour, are at the place we parked (Wolf’s truck this time) within another hour, and at the yard in Oshkosh in 2 more hours.

It’s 6 hours since we got up, and we are still a mile from the yard, stuck on a layer of pack ice in a tiny truck stop.

The weather is very bad up here, with 4” of snow down already and now sleeting. Even the interstate hasn’t been cleared.

The weather through Chicago only got rain and it’s clearing, but we had hoped to get within 10 miles of tomorrow’s deliveries this evening. Now we will be having to find safe haven at least 3 hours short, in the dark.
