Here is the deal. Last night, J stopped at a rest area just west of Miles City, MT. I get up and start driving thie morning around 0700 local time because he had quit due to snow and wind. Well, the right lane is a sheet of ice, and you can't even see the left lane because it is all covered with snow. I drive about 75 miles and finally get to dry pavement.
We stop in Bismark,ND to get fuel and grab something to eat. While we are there, we get our next load. We are dropping this load, picking up our next one in Green Bay,WI and then delivering it to Kent,WA!! That is right back to Seattle! Right back over all the passes that are snow covered! Right back over the one we just had to chain up for! Right back over Snoqualmie that has been shut down off and on for a week and a half due to avalanche control! They are freaking killing me with the northwest runs! I sent in a message asking if they had anything that could get us south because I know of other teams that have not even been up to the northwest this winter. I also told them that we had talked to out Trip Planner about getting us out of these freight lanes and getting us down south for a couple weeks. He said he would pay attention to the loads we are getting and for us to keep in touch, but of course this is the weekend and he is off so we can't contact him. So if they don't get us something back down south, then we will definitely be calling him back on Monday and having a chat.
Here are a few more pictures that we took this morning when I woke up just to show you more of the snow we are dealing with.

Please don't be tto mad, we are dealing with this crap since month, but it is not as bad up here (GB) as you've had it. I hope you're getting better loads now!
