White Night

Another first for Lori; driving in a snow storm at night. This morning's weather reports note that 7 to 10 inches of snow fell in the Chicago area overnight.

While it wasn't snowing hard enough to stop the truck or put on chains, it took all of Lori's concentration to keep the truck in the lane since it was hard to see the roadway. Thank goodness for the reflective lane dividers. While she couldn't see those either, the noise they make when you run over them let Lori know she was at the edge of the lane.

The snow let up this morning as Lori and Tamara finished up their flower deliveries in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Stoughton, Wisconsin. From there, it's up to Lomira, WI to pick up newspaper inserts destined for Las Vegas and the L.A. area. The plan is to get that load Friday evening and then head west along I-80, drop down to Denver and over the Rockies to get to Vegas Sunday morning and then into LA later that day.
