We have hit more snowy weather on this trip. We were forced to stop in the middle of Wyoming on Saturday 1/6 because the next 200 miles of Interstate 80 was closed-the driving conditions were too treacherous. We think they would have been wise to also close the 100 miles we drove before we were stopped. We saw 10 jacknifed trucks and nearly as many overturned cars.
We were lucky- when they opened the road on Sunday morning - the sun was out and the snow was cleared well off the road- we sailed through (Literally- most of the time we were being pushed by a very strong tail wind. Made us glad we had a full, heavy load). Here is a picture of the hiway on Sunday as the sun came up and the wind was blowing the snow across the road infront of us.
We delivered our apples in Rochester NY on Tuesday night. We hadn't seen snow on the ground for a 1000 miles but it started snowing as we sat in the truck backed up to the dock. It was very pretty. (And thankfully it only lasted long enough to drop 1/2 inch.
We will be in New Hampshire on Friday to pick up a load of Chocolate :) then we will be heading to Los Angeles
