But not in Vegas. Oh well. I’m supposed to deliver near Sacramento in the morning, but I-80 in Nevada has chains required over several passes. I’m not thrilled about chaining, but since I-80 is completely closed in the California mountains, why go through that trouble to get a little closer.
I’ve got Internet, kind of. I’m borrowing a wifi signal from a nearby hotel because my Verizon card isn’t getting a good signal at all.
Even with snow on the ground and the roads messed up, it sounds like it was better than going all the way south to I-40 and getting snowed on in Oklahoma and Texas. At least if it snows up north, they are more prepared and able to clear the roads quicker then Oklahoma, who I think has one snow plow in the entire state.
I’ve called the store, the broker and my dispatcher and gave them the news. It’s supposed to snow all day today and even when it clears up, it’s going to be worse than rush hour on a Friday night in LA with everyone trying to leave at once.
Hi. I’ve been following your blog for a while, I love it! I have a little blog. Nothing fancy like this, but I was wondering… how do you get the little maps that show the traffic (like in this blog)… first – how do you get them, second – how do you post them on the blog? I also love the feature you have “Where we are” listing where you have been “so many” hours ago… very cool.
Keep up the good work! Laurie
Thanks! The little map picture is just a screen capture from the Nevada DOT website. I use a program called mwsnap at http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html then just upload like a regular picture.
The “Where are we” is pulled from our twitter.com account and that’s done by a wordpress plugin called twitter tools at http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress You’re blog has to be WordPress.org to use that.
