Snowed In (Out?)

With all the stormy weather in California giving us our share of rain and snow, driving a big rig becomes a tricky endeavor. We worry about the Grapevine closing, but Rick was delayed for a day plus near Redding, CA trying to get his load to Oregon. Snow and high winds forced the closure of a 20 mile stretch of I-5 near Mt Shasta. Rick took a little (forced) break waiting out the closure, courtesy of the California Highway Patrol. When the road finally opened, Rick reported a 3 hour traffic delay (ouch). Rather than fight it out, Rick waited through 2 movies and sailed on through. Successful, but late load, to Portland. Now, off to Colorado for even more winter weather. Drive safe!
