We drove up Peoria to Green Bay yesterday in 8 hours and 8 minutes; we have done the run in 2 hours less than that. The weather was more or less as predicted, but I did not pay attention to predicted wind speed which was pushing really hard from the east. We had rain to Rockford (I saw ice in the trees as far south as Benson), ice from Rockford to Madison , snow from Madison to Oshkosh, and mostly clear from Oshkosh to Green bay. The Rockford to Madison part was toughest; we counted about 10 cars in the ditch. Karen was driving at about 30 mph there. Parts of the van got about 1/4 inch of ice during that stretch. However, if we would have stopped or waited to go today it would have been worse. We basically fell into bed when we arrived last night. By this morning the storm had caught up with us, and snowed, iced, and rained on us here. Today has been sort of low key. We went outside and played in the glazed-over snow for a while.
