Friday Morning Commute

We've almost made it to another weekend. The sky was still dry when I left La Crosse, WI this morning but I did run into the rain on my way into work. It looks like it's moving East so it will probably hit everywhere along i90 today. Stay dry and drive safe.

Monday Morning Commute

A new work week is here and things are finally starting to dry out a bit. One good thing I heard about all the rain and flooding on the local news this morning was that mosquito populations shouldn't be any worse due to all the water we've seen. In fact they theorized that many of the mosquito eggs were probably washed south of us as far as Illinois perhaps so that could be a good thing for us this summer. For now I'm just happy to be seeing the sun again today. As always drive safe.

Fun Shot of the Day -- 43 Bridge to Wisconsin Closed at Winona (actually I think it opened back up to most traffic excluding large trucks)

Tuesday Morning Commute

Things were a bit soggy on my way into work this morning. The rain did let up as I got closer to Rochester but seemed to follow me along most of i90. As always drive safe.

Thursday Morning Commute

The sky over i90 looks kind of gloomy today and I even had a few sprinkles of rain fall as I got close to Rochester. Take it easy out there and drive safe.

Monday Morning Commute

It's a brand new week and the tree pollen counts must be up cause my allergies were acting up yesterday. Looks like we are going to get some rain today and it's starting off a little on the chilly side. Something was going on just East of the Rushford Exit 249 as I saw three police cars all with cars pulled over in the East bound lanes of i90 all within less then a mile. Couldn't tell if they were just trying to crack down on speeders there or if it was something bigger. Tried to snap a picture but it didn't turn out well. Anyways have a good Monday and drive safe.

Friday Morning Commute

Finally it's Friday. Something about all the rain we've been getting makes the weeks seem really long. My drive in this morning provided the heaviest rain this week though still not a an all out downpour. You want to be a bit careful in places where the road dips because there was enough water in some of those places to pull my car slightly while going the speed limit. Really driving on i90 isn't an issue today though. Between some fog and the rain though be sure to keep your eyes open and drive safe.

Thursday Morning Commute

Thunderstorms and rain are in the forecast for today (and into tomorrow I believe). It certainly rained on my way to work. Really it didn't let up the whole way into Rochester, MN from La Crosse WI. Never was a absolute downpour but enough to make me a bit tired by the time I got to work. Either that or it's my allergy medicine, Zyrtec that is making me tired as I just started taking it for this year. O well. It's better to be tired then all stuffed up and sneezing. Tis the season. As always drive safe.

Thursday Morning Roads

Working from home today but did manage to get a shot of i90 here in La Crosse, WI. As you can see road conditions are great here today. It's even starting to warm up a bit. Enjoy the warmer temps and drive safe.

Friday Morning Roads

Things are looking pretty dicey out there today so I'm staying put and working from home. I did get out and a bout a little bit around 7:30 this morning though and snapped a few shots on i90 here in La Crosse, WI. From what I can tell it only gets worse in Minnesota and someone I work with said things were a mess in Rochester, MN this morning when she came in. We might get up to 10 inches of snow today so if you do have to be out and about, drive safe and have a happy Good Friday.

Tuesday Morning Commute

Well I made my way over to Rochester, MN leaving La Crosse, WI around 9:30 this morning. i90 were in better shape then I thought it would be and was great on the Wisconsin side of the border. Once I got up the hill to around the Nodine, MN / HWY 12 -- Exit 266, things got really foggy and there was visible patches of ice in spots especially in the passing lane. The fog started lifting around Rushford, MN -- HWY 43 S -- Exit 249 though and from there on the roads were mostly just wet. HWY 52 coming into Rochester was in good shape as well. We'll have to keep an eye on things today though as those wet roads could freeze up for the drive home. Drive safe.

Wednesday Morning Roads

I'm working from home today but was out and about for a bit around 7 am this morning. Right now i90 looks pretty good here in La Crosse, WI. Thing look a bit dicier in MN when I checked road conditions though and a quick glance at the radar shows that it should start snowing here anytime. We aren't suppose to get much snow but it will probably be enough to make things a little slick in spots. Have a good day and drive safe.

I90 is in great shape this morning. The sun is out and the road is clean all the way from La Crosse to Rochester. Enjoy the drive and as always drive safe.

Monday Roads

Working from home today was out and about this morning around 7:30 AM in La Crosse, WI. There is plenty of ice out there (especially on the secondary roads) so do be careful. For the little bit I was on i90, the interstate looked like it had some ice in spots but overall looked better then the state highways. Minnesota Road Conditions are listed as worse then over here so be sure to slow down and drive safely.

Thursday Roads

Working at home today so won't be making the comute to Rochester. I was out and about however, around a quarter to 8 this morning and i90 look great in La Crosse, WI. It was fine on my way home last night from Rochester, MN as well so I'm sure travelling on it won't be an issue this morning. We are spose to get some snow this afternoon into this evening so keep an eye out for that. As always, drive safe.

Tuesday Morning Commute

I90 looks great this morning. The sun is out and the road is in great shape. It is a bit windy but that's nothing to worry about. It does look like someone lost a kitchen chair perhaps off a pickup just West of the St Charles, MN Exit 233. It was sitting in the right hand lane as I drove by and I didn't have a chance to grab my camera so watch out for that. Enjoy the sunshine and as always, drive safe. Pictures taken between 7 and 8 AM.

Monday Roads

Was out and about this morning on i90 around La Crosse but am working from home today so no pictures of conditions of i90 in Minnesota. Looks like there is some pretty thick fog in some spots West of the Mississippi River this morning and some of that could have turned into black ice patches as the tempetures fell below freezing last night so do careful if driving out there. On the Wisconsin side of the river though i90 looks great.
