Parked up in Grand Island NE. Roads are sheet ice, 40mph crosswinds from north. Temps around 10f. no salters seen for 150 miles. Multiple bigrig wrecks.
Think this storm caught nebraska by surprise!! LOL. I certainly wasnt expecting it to be this bad here!
You at the Bosselman Truck Stop? If you have to get stuck, that's not a bad place have it happen.Originally Posted by AF5TY

no. Literally couldn't make it that far. Kept sliding off to the shoulder with the wind pushing me like i was on skates. Ran the rumble strips for last 3 miles to stay on the road!
Parked at ex305 across street from T/A. Couldn't even get into the T/A as it was packed. Got the last space in this little convenience store.
I try not to give that truckstop any business anymore anyway. They got bought out by pilot. Prices on everything including the restaurant went up 30% just because. So i avoid those bosselmans at all cost for my personal spending. My company has me fueling there occasionally but thats all i do. They get no $$$ outta my pocket lol
Oh, man, that sucks—last of the really nice independent truck stops. I was there shortly after it opened and it was blown away by how much better it was than the usual Pilot or T/A.
They wrecked ALL the Bosselmans. Pretty much every truckstop they take over they wreck it. The unusual thing though is they left the Grandma Max restaurant intact in most of them. They just rammed the prices outta site in it.
Usually the first thing to go is the sit down restaurant and they jam a subway or Wendy's or other FF joint in there. Or they turn it into a flying J and stuff a Dennys in there which is just FF with waitress service.
Soo many of the good stops are gone anymore. Makes me kinda pissed.
Had 14 inches of snow here yesterday. It is -11f here at 5am, yes Minus 11f.
ugh the furnace keeps kicking on. I have the thermometer set for 67f inside.
Woke up at 3:30am I was chilly it was 66f and the furnace had just kicked on.

We dodged a 1-ft bullet last Sunday and Monday, but Ma Nature appears to be reloading the weather gun just in time for the weekend. :(

At least you have winter and snow and stuff.
Our "winter"here till now is another bummer like last year, when we had no frost no snow no hail whatever.
At least we hhad a few nights below 0C now and some flurry's of snow or hail that lasted on the street for all of a few hours...
Yuck let summer get here soon...
