Tom, I hope you had better weather than I did. I was pulling a trailer with my dually and hit Kansas late last Wednesday night, around 10 p.m., just in time for the snowstorm...it was a friggin' nightmare. My driver's-side windshield washer wasn't working, the plows hadn't gotten out yet, and there was a 45 mph crosswind that blew slush on my windshield every time a semi passed going the other way. Then the snow turned to ice...I was afraid that if I pulled over and stopped it might be a day or more before I got going again. I was the only loon on the road except for a few adventuresome truckers. I tell you, oversteer in a Cobra is nothing to getting sideways on glare ice in a dually, going uphill at 50 mph and pulling somebody else's $12,000 trailer! I have a few new gray hairs now...

We must have just missed each other!! 
We checked into a hotel about that time, it sure was getting bad out side. We had driven in the snow for over an hour, my nerves were about shot.
Hope that you made it safe and sound!!
We did, it took us two hours to get out of Kansas City the next morning!!

Man, now that would have been a fun coincidence, meeting in Kansas! I'd probably still be there shaking off a hangover. 
When we hit the snow I'd been behind the wheel for 7 hours already. I made it until 2 a.m., slithering through the slush trying to follow semi tracks, when I suddenly felt like I was going to lose my mind. We pulled into one of those center-median rest areas and slept for two hours, just long enough for the seat belt to bore a hole in my back. I woke up pissed off, which was probably helpful because it made me determined to drive on out of it.
We finally made K.C. four hours later, just in time for all of the morning commuters trying to endure the snow and ice. I nearly ran out of diesel looking for an on-off ramp that was cleared well enough for me to be able to make it back to the highway. The front of the trailer had probably fifty pounds of slush frozen to it, thrown up by the truck tires. It was not a pretty sight compared to the freshly-washed truck and nice white trailer that had pulled out of the driveway the afternoon before. The roads finally cleared up near the Iowa-Minnesota border. We drove up to northern Wisconsin, made it up there that evening, turned around, and made the whole trip over again...it was amazing that the roads that were treacherous just a day before were completely free of snow and ice as we passed back through (much to my relief).
We saw some nasty accidents...makes me glad to live in South Texas, where most people can't drive worth a damn, but at least the roads are usually dry.
Glad you made it back, as well. We don't need any "missing man" formations at the February meet!
Bob
