On the bright side it is payday for me today. On the down side I am still in Delafield, Wisconsin this morning as I have been traveling for work, and of course we have this winter storm in the midst. It will likely be a long and interesting drive home which is about a 7 hour drive for me. Oh well. Hopefully it won't be as bad as has been predicted, and so far this morning there is not much happening outisde. Fingers crossed and I guess we shall see.

Be safe out there. Will it be snowing most of that drive home, or do you expect the roads to be iced?

@porwest That is the one thing I don't like about having a big pickup truck, in that when it's windy (like super windy), you can feel the truck getting blown around. Not a big deal, but I like to hold her straight and steady when I'm driving.

It actually turned out to be okay. I was able to keep it at 65-70 the whole way. Just a lot of wind although it was snowing, but just pretty much blowing around.

Thank you. It all worked out and the drive was not as awful as I thought it would turn out to be. Not great. But not awful. I am home now, safe and sound, and glad to be.

@RebeccasFarm The roads were not nearly as bad as I thought they were going to be. Today might have been another story with the temps as low as they are.

It turned out to be not at nearly bad as I thought it was going to be. It was a lot of wind and some driving, blowing snow, but I was still able to keep it around 65-70 the whole time.

Hopefully the storm has passed and the roads will be cleared. It's storming here now with s**w and windy conditions. Drive safely. I hope by now you are home safe and sound.

I hope you get home as soon as possible. From what I keep hearing, it will get pretty nasty out there later. Be safe!

A 7-hour drive home! When I was working it took me about 20 minutes to get home!
