I have been in three different seasons in one week! Started in Illinois with Temps in the mid 50's and sunny. Very nice weather, even drove with windows down for a bit. Then get load assignment taking me to California. I was on I-80 for about 75-85% of the trip so far.

In Omaha, NE, I hit my first Snow storm. What started off as rain and temps hovering around 40-45 quickly turned to snow and temps around the freezing mark! This happened about 20 miles outside of Omaha. Once in town they already had at least 1-1/2" on the ground and still coming down. Pretty good size flakes, if not for driving in it, it would have been pretty. However, I was driving. I could see the water mist coming off my tires so I knew roads weren't froze over yet. I reduced my speed and continued on. Of the traffic and road conditions, the one thing that gave me the most problems was these "forearms" on my windshield! Snow was gathering up on my wipers and at one point looked like forearms! They were huge and NOT doing there job properly. Need to invent heated wipers. The have heated everything else!

Made it through Omaha and heading for Cheyenne, WY. Now, it wasn't as bad as Omaha, but I had to deal with snow showers off and on until around the Laramie area. Temps now in the low 20's. Had to get fuel in Laramie and the wind was blowing pretty good. Needless to say, didn't take long to fuel up! Snow finally stopped, but the wind continued until I got to Utah.

Woke up Sunday morning to a windy, cloudy, and cold 28 degree day. As I finally left Wyoming and started south on I-15 the wind started to decrease and by the time I got to Arizona, the clouds gave way to sunshine! Finally! Just in time too. There is a stretch of interstate that goes through Virgin River Gorge and is a really pretty drive. I stopped one mile from California state line and it was sunny and 69 degrees. So from Illinois to California, I went from mild fall weather to winter, then hit nice spring weather. I'll take the spring!

Funny signs: This one goes to the states that has Rock training. You know what I am talking about, the sign that says "watch for falling rock". Now looking at some of these hills/cliffs, that takes extensive training to allow one rock to fall at a time. Is there a fine or corrective action if more than one falls?

Until next stop, safe travels
