Yeah, you’re going to be hitting 1-5 inches of snow here in Indiana. And that’s before you get to where the lake effect snow starts up.
Emailed you with my contact info. Feel free to call if you need anything, or want to have lunch/dinner on the way there or back. |

While you’re gone, maybe you could get Prof Erb to fill in for you and do a post on the dramatic effects Global Warming is having on Portland and Farmington.

Farmington got 14.7 inches? I pray they have a good snow removal system.
Imagine him being snowed in with nothing to do but post comments. That could amount to a DOS attack. |

Since you’re driving anyway, Bruce, how about letting us know what you’re paying for fuel/gal along the way?
The price shifts from market to market might be amusing.

Got smacked with a little snow/ice...salt on my poor southern car...my windshield washer froze up. Oh yeah. We forgot to tell you to winterize your car before heading closer to the pole: windshield de-icer, snow tires, check the anti-freeze quality of your engine coolant, bucket of sand/flares/steel tractor-treads/blankets in the trunk, etc.

Speaking of anti-freeze, I’m going out to get a drink. |

Do you sumbitches know it is cold up here? There go my plans for hitting the driving range. Clearly, YOU didn’t.
But... welcome to MY world.
Beck will tell you the same thing... with the added dimension of more snow than we generally get along the lake shore.

For three days, now, it’s not been above 20-22 degrees or so in the warmest part of the day. We’ve piled up about 14 inches of snow here in Daisy Hollow, judging by the top of the coal bins. There is more snowmobile traffic than cars up & down the road now; people have been slavering for this.
At least it’s been windy as hell, though. So, there’s that.

Do you sumbitches know it is cold up here? McQ, you sound like my husband. It’s December in Utah, and he comes in from work going "Dang, it’s cold today! How come it’s so cold? It was warm just a few months ago!" I reply, "Honey... it’s this little thing we call ’winter’, it happens every year about this time..."
Every year about this time, I also have to remind him that we have these crazy things called "coats" and "gloves" and "scarves" that, oddly enough, allow us to keep warm even when it’s cold outside. And not only that, but we encourage the small children to wear them too, especially if they’re going to be in a position to touch the snow. |

Its not the cold, its the humidity.
Seriously. I swear that near freezing (20-35 F) when there’s slush or wet snow outside is worse than 0 F dry. |

What’s funny is how cold, say, 28 degrees is in December, and how warm it is come March. By March, I’ll happily walk around outside in a temperature like that in a sweatshirt.
We’ve still got the worst ahead of us up here.

Here is a chart of state taxes on fuel for 2007. I would imagine 2008 data will not be complete for several months.
In tracing your route here is the state and federal taxes on fuel.
Georgia 21.30
Tennessee 21.40
Indiana 31.40
Michigan 30.80
The more blue-the more green. |

Hope you’re enjoying your trip, Bruce! |

The more blue-the more green. Not really. There’s a bit of diversity.
I’d also point out (as an Indiana resident) that I’ve been paying less than $2.85 for several weeks, and that the average cost for gasoline in Indiana is about the same as for Georgia or Tennessee — despite a higher state fuel tax.
Also, Indiana is certainly on the red side of purple. |

McQ, did you drive up through Cincinnati (I-75) or Louisville (I-65)? |

JWG, I realize that. What I was trying to say was that even Indiana is more blue than Tennessee or Georgia. And I’m just guessing. Tennessee may be more blue than red. |

I’d love to see gas at $3.09 per gallon. I filled my motorcycle up this morning at the cheapest station in town...for $3.49/gal. |

Can’t imagine what Diesel’s going for, then.

Filled up last night (suburban Boston, MA) for $2.98/G. That’s down 8 cents from a week ago. Diesel was posted at $3.57 at the same station.
Just for kicks and giggles, has anyone done an overall cost per unit energy comparison between 87 octane gasoline and diesel? The price per gallon does not reflect the true cost to burn as there are more kJ (kWH, BTUs, etc.) in a gallon of diesel (not sure the exact #s, though). |

Heck it was 16 degrees here this morning, without wind chill.
That should be gone in a couple of days though.
We’re supposed to get more snow tonight or tomorrow, so keep an eye on the weather. |
