We sat at the Valero station for a couple hours. It stopped snowing about midnight. just about the time the power went out. A road crew came thru about 2am with snow plows and cleared the access road and I could see traffic on the 40 headed east although they were only doing about ten mph. I figured slow was better than stopped so I joined the parade. I made it about ten miles before they completely closed the highway. Traffic was stopped right in their tracks. Things started to move again at 6am. It was one very long night.
I blew thru Texas as fast as I could after all that. I wanted to get back on schedule. All things considered it took me almost 16 hours to cross the pan handle.
Oklahoma was nice. I didn't see the freeze carnage I was expecting but I did very little sightseeing.
Sitting in Little Rock, Ark. tonight. I'm hoping to get caught up on my sleep. Tomorrow will be the last leg of this trek. Roswell Georgia.
