Country wide driving condition report????
I'm going to have to go out to Oregon in a few weeks to pick up my new Arctic Fox 1140. Does anyone know if there is a website for country wide driving conditions? I figure I'm going to need a 10 day ...

*road conditions change hour-by-hour, or minute-by-minute; they can go from 100% dry, to catastrophic in the time it takes you to sneeze. I check these as I would proceed (I'd have my co-pilot hive me a report every hour on my planned route via a smart-phone app!)
My advice to me always is: be prepared to ride out catastrophic blizard-like and ice-storm like conditions for as long as a ~~week (we are apparently in the most brutal winter {and its not even winter yet!} North America may have experienced in quite some decades; and we ain't seen notin' yet!). If this were me, I would buy (or, borrow) the best certified snow tires money can buy for a heavy-duty truck; you're gonna need them; I always remind myself that snow tires aren't God...be extremely cautious even with them.
I like OldTymeFlyer's advice :)
