Ack snowed in. :blink:

 

Do the roads stay closed there for long?

 

Sorry thought you were going through California, well then driving in the first "city" with traffic may be a culture shock to the system after so long in Alaska.

We drove through Edmonton and then Calgary at rush hour last night - hit city traffic already.

Thanks for the brilliant pics and have a safe journey.

 

I guess you should have been counting Tim Hortons trucks on your way through canada!

We waved at you when you were stuck in rush hour traffic here! :wave :wave You stayed in Lethbridge?

What a spring storm huh? Or should that be eh? :P Really we did have nice weather up to last week! Hopefully you will on the road again soon. Safe travels.

I was going to say you might run into winter weather in Montana but you realized that already! You checked the new road condition map page and I think it is way too busy and harder to read than the old one. The roads don't look that bad today!

Loving the pictures here too. Thanks.

 

Trudy - glad to see you've left Hell and moved on to In Limbo. Things are improving already!

 

Should you decide to make a detour and swing a little more south in Arizona, we have plenty of room for you all here and our pet rates are quite reasonable! ;) Happy and safe travels to the five of you.

:blush Ooops. I could have given you the heads up on this Blizzard, had I known you were already in Central Southern Alberta. I thought you were just crossing into Canada. Spring in Alberta, you have to be prepared for most anything.

 

Oh, and be sure to look out for that "California Traffic" as you head through Montana and Idaho... :lol

 

Drive safely

Have a safe trip! Get ready for hot and sticky when you arrive, as it's already been in the 80's down here! (not in Mobile, but they are on par with us weatherwise).

Didn't make it to Salt Lake City as we had hoped today due to that spring blizzard in Alberta.

90 mins to get about 40 miles. Then we sat, on the highway for ~4.5 hours. There were ~15 semis, plows, graders, private vehicles stuck somewhere on the road preventing the rest of us from passing.

After we were on the road this morning, they closed it from a point behind us to a point in front of us, then extended it to the border - due to the mess that was out there of stuck plows and graders and other stuff. That's why we sat... they were digging out the stuck people. Once we hit the border, we made good time again, but no way we were making it to SLC in a reasonable time, so we are here in Idaho Falls, ID for the night.

My friend Leslie is in Boise.

 

Disregard. I get Idaho City and Idaho Falls mixed up. :lol :lol IC is close to Boise. Y'all are on the other side of the state. :)

The line waiting to cross the border into Canada (the truck lane leaving Canada was just as long) - roads were great in MT by the time we got there
