I'm stuck at the Petro in Effingham IL, but sure beats being one of the many many jack-knifed trucks parked off road. The last 42 miles heading north on I57 took 8 hours Sunday night. My reefer turned off just before getting here, but some Howes in the tank and it stayed running.
Without fuel antigel, I would have left the big engine running. I put the Howes in and my Comfort Pro is doing okay.

In Michigan, wind is causing a lot of near white outs. Snow so cold, it easily blows around, and most vehicles brake/tail lights are covered in thick powder, you can no longer see them.
It's -4F but with wind chill, feels like -30F………… unless of course, if you figure in global warming, then it only feels like -25F Maybe the herds in Chicago will be thinned?… but the animals up here are okay.

I moved to Arkansas out of IL last year and I can tell you this down south they have NO COLD tolerance. It got to 9 degrees and to hear then see the female weather guesser on the TV you would have thought she was heading for the North freaking Pole. Meantime I am walking around in my shorts outside going this is not cold I am from IL.
