I spent last night at Laramie (my planned stop). The I80 was closed to Rawlins due to 60+ mph wind gusts. The wind was gusting 40+ from Cheyenne to Laramie. It re-opened at 03:00 this morning. I took off at 04:40 and just made it to my planned stop in Jerome, ID.

The stretch to Rawlins was the worse with 40+ mph wind gust and patchy ice. Took it slow. After Rawlins it was fine.

Then got into snow on I-84 around Ogden. Finally out of it.

I deliver in morning near Boise, then on for second stop at Sumner, WA for Tuesday morning.

I was stuck in the Tacoma/Seattle area for a week at Christmas after a delivery in Sumner.

I got through there and slid right between the really windy days. I was prepared to shut it down if I felt the truck and/or trailer getting pushed. Lots of wind noise, but no lateral movement of the vehicle. I actually felt a little bit stronger wind right across the Nebraska border. I thought I might have to park, but the wind died down as quickly as it got riled up. Off to sleep now. I see Drew is chasing me.
