This was just after daylight this morning coming across I-70 in eastern Missouri. The picture doesn't really give a visual on the amount of snow that was coming in sideways with the wind, or the slick spots from the slush. I was fortunate to be around 73,000 lbs, and stayed in the hammer lane mostly.

Some drivers use dashcams, I put my phone in a phone holder on the dash and have an app called "whistle camera" that will snap a pic anytime I whistle

My only complaint about the app is you need to have the screen on for it to work, but I haven't found anything similar. To avoid draining my battery I have google voice setup to say "ok google open whistle camera" I'm going to be buying a dashcam eventually just haven't gotten around to it. I'm in a different truck everyday I work so needing to take it in and out every day has been 1 thing that's stopped me. I'm lazy, what can I say smile.gif

Gotcha!!! I thought maybe there was a dash cam built into the truck that you could access and pull them out

Iowa State Route 14 this afternoon on my way to the Pella Windows Factory, on Pella Corporation Drive, in Pella, Iowa.

Lots of snow everywhere.

Nice packrat! Atleast you were able to avoid the storm that's been just kinda sitting over the area for 3 days. Hopefully it's the start to many perfect weeks for you given the issues you've had to deal with the past week or so.

Sorry can’t figure out how to rotate photo. My first time in conditions like this. It came out of nowhere. I guess that’s WY for you.
