Whee III

Looks like another interesting morning. Today the last eight miles going into Wyoming still had several big rigs, both tractor and trailer, on the side of the road. My guess there aren't enough high capacity wreckers to deal with those numbers in a short time.

Talked to a trucker at about 0430 this morning in Cheyenne. He said his dispatcher cleared him to run to Ogden and he was leaving shortly. He has been sitting in Cheyenne for two days.

What's it like in the summer when the big thunderboomers roll through?

Winds around thunderstorms are more localized but intense. Lots of F-1 tornadoes to the East of you. Very common to see rotating clouds that don't reach the ground.

In your area lightning strikes are common. Something to consider when you put up your tower. (And we have just exhausted my technical knowledge on that subject).

Stay safe, I'll stay down here where it's warm(er)...

That it is. However, not immune to severe weather.
