We've been using this site to plan our trips and know what weather we might encounter. Hadn't really thought about it being something to share but when talking to a couple at our RV park last weekend we mentioned it. They had never heard of it and since they live in Reno and are frequently crossing Donner Pass they were excited to add a new tool to their online research. So, I thought I'd share it here.
The road trip planner allows you to input starting / ending destinations with planned departure time and gives you weather, warnings, forecast, etc. for your route. You can enter future dates, 2-5 days out if you're trying to determine when is the best time to depart or if you need to stay put while a weather system passes.
Awesome! Stumbled on that this week attempting to help camper move on on the office computer. Thought about it last night, so thank you!

We'll be starting our first long trip, not to mention our first ever trip as full-timers, in two weeks, and this site will be very useful. I've already saved it to our 'favorites'. Thanks!

Sherry - you were actually one of the Dreamers I was thinking about when I posted this. Praying for safe travels as you head east on I-90, it's a very "iffy" time of year to be headed across all those passes. Stay safe!!

I just checked out the site and think we will use it after the winter. Thanks. Yes, be careful on 90 E. There are many road closures due to snow and I understand that Rapid City is expecting snow accumulations for the weekend. Drive safe.
