DISPATCHERS QUOTING BEFORE THE WINTER STORM.

I’m pretty sure I said the same thing and I got downvoted when you got upvoted. In the south they are usually used to December and February being 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit and at most one week of actual winter where there is ice. It might snow and stick to the ground one time for one day every eight years. I know. I used to live in Jackson Mississippi. We had a banana plant that would still be growing on Christmas. But with that said, this year the coldest day forecasted is today in Minnesota. I about died last night walking from my truck to the Lyft and from the Lyft to my house. My mustache was covered in ice crystals. My eyes were freezing over. It was also too cold to actually snow at about -15 F and I had a drop/hook as my last load and the place I dropped the load in Northfield did not have an empty so I went further North to Arden Hills to find the trailer touching the trailer to its left. The yard truck driver did not want to move it because “with the weather this cold the yard truck doesn’t like to disconnect.” And they were right. It took him no time to move the trailer, took 3 times as long to unhook from the trailer. As cold as it was that’s about 10 degrees warmer than it’s supposed to be tonight. And the really crazy thing is that while Minnesota warms up in about a week to -5 low +11 high you could see central Louisiana dip to their coldest day of the year that was previously listed as 19 low 35 for the high. Now it says 1 degree warmer. And it will feel almost as cold as that crap I dealt with last night here (correction, the -25 happened last night, it’s now -20 and the low tonight only -17 with a warm up to about -5 in the middle). Except without the literal icicles hanging from the mustache *because* there isn’t any snow. It’s all swamps. And it’s also supposed to be raining which will probably turn into ice.
