Should have seen Pottsville when all that traffic was detoured through downtown. Had I been working this could have been a problem but it is nice to be off yesterday and today. BTW 81 north is still closed. Lots of junk to remove.

I've been in that on I-90 west of Rochester, driving a U-Haul and pulling a car trailer taking a customer to pick up a car in Lockport NY.Hambden Bob wrote: ↑Tue.

In and out of bands of lake affect snow for a few hours. One minute nice and sunny with blue sky and a wall of white up ahead. Then into that wall of snow and we couldn't see more than a truck length in any direction. Lights on, stayed in the right lane, dropped to 15 mph ,...and did a lot of praying. Then, about 15-20 minutes of that and pop out into blinding sun shine again with another wall of white up a mile or so ahead.
Worse visibility than any fog I've ever been in,... on land or water !!!! And the most nerve racking few hours I ever spent on the road.
