Me and speed4tu left at 10:00 this morning. I just got back home at 8:00pm. I40 weather was no joke, We had to exit off for cover 3 times because of hail. No damage thank goodness. There was also a traffic jam from a 10 car pile up in the rain.

Yep. That was them. Didn't look like any visible damage. I'm curious how they got the car off the side though. Glad they were ok, the Dragon was nasty this morning.
Something about a semi coming up the dragon on the WRONG SIDE OF THE YELLOW'S. The whole party (4 cars) slammed on the brakes and the guy in the silverstone had to bail to the side to avoid hitting the person in front of him.

John and I made it back to Johnstown around 8pm. We dropped Steve off at Somerset Mcd's around 7ish. On I-77 it was snowing so bad I couldn't see at all. Rain was hard off and on, made it pretty miserable on the way home. What a great time, glad I was invited to join along and got to meet some awesome folks
