Ice road truckers.......

Today was a challenge , arguably an easy drive of some 255  miles from Minneapolis to Fargo North Dakota.Under normal circs this would have been great with time to stop at viewing point's on the way, however: this snowy stuff is becoming a pain.
I have taken ,to checking the state of the roads before I start, may sound a bit extreme but trust me on this one its well worth it up in this part of the world.


Minnesota highways said all was good as did North Dakota,and to be fair to them up to about 150 miles out of Fargo it wasn't too bad , bit icy in places but then things went a bit wrong.

gNow I am generally quite happy in the snowy stuff, bit this was a bit more than that tis road is a 3 lane interstate,the track you see is sheet ice in the 3rd picture you may identify the problem , swirling snow form the drifts at the side of the road.

This was not fun at all

Still I did get to Fargo and am now stuck here , this could mean a dramatic rethink of options as at the moment , Canada is closed due to the roads being iced up .

Let see whayt tomorrow brings apart from -17 degrees which is what it is as I write this
