This storm followed me here all the way from the pacific coast. Snowquamie pass was super hard to cross. I stayed ahead of the storm by 10 hrs or so after the pass. Washington and Idaho I was in and out of snow and sleeting rain. Now I am in Sioux City Iowa. We got 10 inches of snow in 10 hrs. It was raining all day before the snow. So now I am froze up and stuck on a hill and can't go get supplies for my motel room at the Holiday Inn. My wife says the weather is good but windy at my house in Alabama. wish I was done with this trip.

Everyone be careful in this weather. I drove 150 miles through Nebraska with a visibility of 50 yds. It was white knuckle crazy driving.  The winds in Wyoming were 20-40 mph. I can't wait to get home.

The storm has reared it's ugly head in Maryland. It appeared around 11 AM today. We were only supposed to get the freezing rain stuff, but now we got a few inches of this instead...    :stomp:  :stomp:  :stomp: The view from my balcony.  :swear:

I wish I took some photos of what we had last here last night, but I didn't want to go out unless I absolutely had to.  We ended up with somewhere around 12-14.6" inches and some places still aren't completeley opened up yet.  We had to push my roommate's friend's car back onto one of the highways 'cause she couldn't get down our side street.  It's hard to believe we had 45-48* only a week ago then back into the low 30*'s with a TON of snow! :puke:

Where at?  I was back around Carlisle, and Olney and they got hammered.
I'm down southeast of Belleville, IL and the wind is the only thing we got other than rain.

Well Sioux City is about 350 or so south of us. I guess it's close but no cigar. If you get in our neck of the woods just give a yell!  :chatting:
