I am bobtailing (running without a trailer) from WI to ID. Bobtails don't get very good traction on slick roads and Winter conditions, but hey this is April so no worries right?
Yeah. I'm in MT now and ran smack into a snowstorm. I was forced to get off the road and check into a hotel to wait out the storm.
More knitting time is the upside. About the only one really.

Perfection is overrated. Knitting is meant to relieve stress, not cause it. Relax and enjoy it.
I have had one kid having a sleep over or the other since Friday. so I tend to hang out in my room and listen for problems (I have insanely good hearing when I knit), I am mostly done with the flared cuffs of my Elfen sweater (I have frogged and Dbl TINKed the cuffs a couple times) now I am just doing a widening Ribbed flair.
needless to say, with kids playing in the house, and the yard, I tend to sit and knit and keep an eye or ear out for them, this makes for LOTS of knitting time

I've never heard of that before..bobtailing I mean. Does this mean you pick up a trailer and drive that somewhere instead of your own?
Extra knitting time is a good thing.
Bobtailing just means running without any trailer. I'm on my out to pick up one of our trailers that was left on a job site for a customer and take it back to our yard.

Further west into north Idaho and Eastern Wa. they're calling for snow and cold for several more days with up to 4".
You should make good progress on your vest anyway.
Hope you get on the road soon.

Yeah I'm hoping to slip through tomorrow between them. Once I get hooked to a trailer I'll be in good shape.

At least you can use the snow as a reason to knit. Maybe if you could send some of it down here I could stay at home for a few days and knit. I doubt we have had 2" and no days with icy roads. So no days of being stuck in the house and now it is warm so you don't want to stay in the house.
