Yeah, from what I watched on the news earlier, eastern CO, and western KS, are to be worse than NE. 3-7 for CO, and 4-9 for KS, 25 - 35 mph winds.

The winds yesterday were kicking up dust along I-10. Wasn't thick enough to shut down the road AFAIK.

I'm in the southwestern part of Wisconsin. Since late yesterday afternoon we started off with high winds and sleet. Then it changed to snow and still high winds. By this morning it had changed to freezing rain. Made the roads interesting, to say the least. Through all this there were still idiots out on the roads. Sometimes I wonder if any of them have any brains at all. It's been lightning and thundering on and off since last night too. We're back to having sleet coming down again. All of you out there stay home , if possible, or at least off the roads till they get better. I want you all to be safe and sound. O.K. ?

We'll be headed out that way starting Friday from the midwest- stops in Chicago and Milwaukee on Saturday and then out to Idaho. Looks like it's going to be a wild ride!
