Day 3 - Philly 2008

So we headed out early Sunday morning to try and beat any storms that decided to crop up. We hit some blowing snow with low visibility out of colorado springs until we hit I-80 then it was clear sailing and boy is it a boring drive. Usually in the summer you have diffrent types of crops this time a year its flat an very uninteresting. We saw a few antelope, some cows and alot of tumble weeds tryed to attack the car. We made it to a rest stop outside demoines and they had an internet connection kiosk to their department of transportation. It was the most interesting map I have seen, usually in arizona the road is open or closed. Here they had diffrent severitys the road we were on was "normal" but ahead of us it was classified as "wet" then in des moines it was classified as "travel not advised" and north were we were planning on going was "completly covered". Needless to say we took its advise and stayed the night in des moines. Its about 9:30am now and looks like the snow plows have caught up so we are off to our first stop, should be there i about 2 hours.
