Tell me about it (yes I live in Texas) but i drive all 48 states (trucks) and am always at our Boling Brook Il terminal and this winter has been the worse in years (that I can remember at my age at least). I'm ready for this s**t to end already. I gotta drive in it along with the idiots who's always in a hurry and cutting us off (lol).
