St Pauls, NC

Perhaps I shouldn't have been so gleeful when I last returned from Indiana, narrowly avoiding a trip through the snow and bitter cold of the North. Yesterday morning I left Greenwood, LA dark and early. Louisiana was mostly rain, but it snowed all the way across Mississippi. I almost checked my GPS to make sure I wasn't in Michigan. Poor visibility, snow-covered roads, and vehicles in ditches....in Mississippi. What the heck? I passed by a tractor-trailer on it's side in the median and watched as a car did a 180 and slid off the interstate and down an embankment. Fortunately, I didn't have any such experience personally. It cleared up in Alabama and I had a pretty smooth drive all the way to Atlanta. I parked at home just as my 11 drive-hours were up.

This morning, I delivered in Durham, NC and drove down to Fayetteville, NC to pick-up another load. I'll drop this off in the morning in Rock Hill, SC and head down to Columbia, SC to pick up a load that should get me through home.
