Canadian weather

Its October 25th, we've been here 3 months all but a couple of days and i've still got no idea about the weather. Down here in Lethbridge the weather is usually milder anyway but its October and still warm ????????????

Yes we have had snow, the temp drops, the snow falls then it warms up again, go figure....

Out and about on the freeways is a different matter, if you are in the mountains in either Montana, North California or especially in British Columbia then expect snow on the ground, however on the Praries or in middle america its just warm. In Nevada, Arizona and Central and Southern California it is still quite hot.

Im sure over the next month the temps will drop and the sever weather warnings in the mountains will start flashing and some mountain roads start closing temporarally. This is where it starts affecting earnings.

Obviously speeds have to be lower and if a road or mountain pass closes you are waiting around which means no pay. I am guessing but i would say the best runs then are the ones that stay away from the mountains.

I carry snow chains on the truck but i havent used them, as soon as any interesting stories come up you can be sure i will be reporting them in the blog.
