    Rt 80 thru Salt Lake was closed because of a big blizzard...Rt 30 was solid ice with a layer of snow blowing over the roadway and with a light 45 ft drop deck trailer I was getting shoved all over by a very strong wind. I couldn't keep the truck straight...I got out to take a look to see if my tie rod was broken and when I climbed down and my feet hit the ground, the wind was so strong and the roadway so slick that even by holding on to the ladder (cab over truck) I couldn't stand.....so, yeah... I'm sure it's a nice road when you drive it, but it was an ice skating rink in a wind tunnel that day.
