Jack--- I sympathize with you guys ---I went to pomona for about 10 years from chicago to Pomona--- drove in a snow storm like you guys are getting in 78-79 drove from chi-st louis in my dually in 3rd gear at 15-20 mph for 250 miles in a rut on the interstate!!! If you went faster you would spin/slip/slide all over the place if you went slower you would get stuck--- got to st louis and not a snoflake on the ground drove a few hours to joplin missouri same situation all the way to oklahoma city. Only problem there is they have NO snow removal equipment. What normally took 45 hours straight thru ended up being a 5 day drive ONE WAY!!! Dont do anything stupid !!!!!!if you get out you get out if not watch it on TV. Not worth it no matter how bad you wanna go--comp 387

Didn't the Farmers' Almanac say this was going to be a mild, easy winter? Here in New England, we missed the one you're dealing with today, but they're calling for us to get a good one on Wednesday of next week...Hope you have plenty of propane (for heat) and also full tanks of fuel for coach....Stay warm and safe....WJ

Hey Jack : Just a thought - have you considered going south and then go west on 40. I had to do just that same thing once. Its longer but you get out of the big white stuff.

Wow.....That does not look good Jack.....

I feel very lucky here in northwestern NJ.....maybe an inch or two....

Watching Daytona 500 qualifying.......and anxious to see the ARCA race later today and the Clash tonight.....Tune your TV in...should be some real wild action......Doesn't look like your going anywhere for a day or so....

Good Luck

Jack, that's the reason i left batavia, n.y. In 1966 and moved to the south. I'm now in sunny el paso, texas drinking "margurita's served by brown eyed beauties" in 60 degree weather. I'll be watching pomona on tv.

You and bill travel safely, there's always the next race in phoenix.
