A night on the mountain!

Brrrrrrr……good evening from Montgomery Pass just as you enter Nevada on US 6.    I am not sure just how far we are on the pass as it was dark before we crossed the border.  All I know is it started snowing as soon as we entered Nevada and the higher I went, the less I could see of the road.  And at 24 degrees, I just didn’t want to tackle snow/ice roads with only 45 minutes left on my clock and not being able to reach my stop for the night if I could!
I did take Gonja out and the roads are now slick with ice.  The snow is light but wet so ice is quickly forming.  Trucks are slowly driving by and so did the snow plow……the wrong direction.  So I hope when we wake in the morning, we will have a cloudy but snow free sky (keep the temps down), with the snow plow hitting this side of the road so we can be on our merry way.  Gads, I would hate to chain up and break a nail!
On a good note, we are warm and safe for the night even though it might cause us to swap this load out.  Not my fault mind you……the dang nab it client took 2.5 hours to load us!  On a bad note, no cell service……no way to contact the company or search the web…….AUGH!  Look forward to see how much snow we have in the morning!  Good night!
