I kept the snow donkeys at bay all week. I had a training class from Tuesday through Friday in Sac, and didn't feel like fighting the ski morons back up friday night so I waited til Saturday. As luck would have it I got to Applegate about 4 minutes after they closed 80 at 1:30 on Saturday.
Turned back, had dinner, then left Vacaville in a lull around 6:45. Got home at 10:15, with chian controls up from Colfax to Boomtown, no incidents. All the news outlets were telling everyone not to go ANYWHERE for 3 days, so traffic was nice and light which helped my sanity. I don't mind the snow donkeys; I hate the effect of more than 3 morons in the same place at the same time on a snow covered freeway.
