We woke up this morning to snow showers with about 2" on the ground. The visibility on the roads until we hit mid-Michigan was poor to say the least as can be seen in the pictures.. Needless to say, we crawled along for a couple of hours and then, finally we were moving right along. We actually hit the road about 8:30 and after a quick stop at McDonalds for breakfast, we ventured out on to I94 -- it had not been plowed or salted since the snow started and was treacherous. Once we reached I69, the plows and sanders had been out and we were able to get "up to speed" so to speak. The day was overcast and cold so we just kept on driving. We reached St. Louis around 4:00 - enough light left to see the Arch. While we actually drove right up to the Arch, it was easier to see from a bit of a distance.
We continued on to Sullivan, Missouri to finish off our day. Total distance today, 890.7 km.
