Live From South Georgia Motorsports Park
 

Loaded up the car Saturday and moved the trailer close to the shop to load the small stuff. The weather did not look good, freezing rain, my favorite. We were going to leave early Sunday morning to miss the storm, but when the forecast changed to 1/2'' of ice we elected to stay and make sure our home was going to be OK. The last time we got 1/2" ice the Weather Channel guy was here in Paducah Ky. and we were without utility power for 11 days. If the Weather Channel people are anywhere close to where you live, you are screwed. We ran on generator power that used 45 gal of diesel a day during the power outage.

Sunday we got 1/4" freezing rain, then two to three inches of sleet. Sleet is way better than freezing rain. Today its snowing two + inches so far and still falling. Its a cold 13* feels like temp. of -4*. Looking out the window everything is white and that does not look good for us going to Georgia.

I looked at the long range weather forecast for Valdosta. Looks like highs in the 70s and lows in the mid 40s for the weekend. Might be some rain on Thursday.
My rig is all loaded up in Tampa, I am in south Miami. Leaving Miami driving the toter to tampa. Pick up the trailer then off to Valdosta. Then a week of vacation at the Gators. Cant wait.

Looking out towards the road (where the mailbox is). Normally we don't like to see Dan Fletcher in the other lane, but it would be nice to see him coming down our lane with his snow plow about now!

This is our truck mounted generator (100 kw) on standby in case the power goes out!

I sure hope you guys make it out the snow! See you in Belle Rose! Looking forward to reports from South Georgia and Gainesville.

Well Larry got the little runaround car dug out and I finished up putting everything away in the motorhome. Our plan right now is to try and leave here on Wednesday. The US Hwy has been plowed, but we have 3 miles to get to the main highway. We ended up with about 6 inches of ice, sleet and snow. 4 wheel drive vehicles can get in and out and that is about all. It is supposed to be up to 34 degrees tomorrow, after a low of 6 tonight. Then on Wed, it is to get up to 43. Hopefully the roads will get plowed or I am afraid our motorhome and stacker won't make it up and down these hills with all the slick stuff under the snow to contend with.

So hopefully we will be "Live" from warmer weather by Thurs.

Ya'll feel free to post on here and let us know how things are down there in the South!

Dyno Dan Zrust called this morning after he had driven 700 miles from Minnesota yesterday. He had just crossed into Kentucky and wanted to know if the state owned a snow plow! LOL

He is on his way!

Just from what I'm seeing forecasted I hope this won't be a repeat of what I just experienced last Monday during the conclusion of the Lights Out Race. Rain for two days, then the Sun comes out, with water coming up past the 1000' mark, and we were only racing to the 1/8th that weekend. On top of that all the tore up grass I saw when I left. But hey, Sunny and in the 70's Saturday and Sunday, great socializing weather.
