    I'm going to tell everyone a secret.
    I have an Angel that rides with me.
    I picked up early in Cedar Rapids the afternoon before this happened.
    I was going to park at the Kum an Go (seriously), but Angel says, "hey man. Let's roll on about 40 miles west on I 80 and we'll park there."
    So, since Angel is always right, I did.
    Had I not, I would have been caught up in that mess the next morning.

    It was a freezing rain event. No snow at all. But I 80 in eastern Iowa was a 50 mile skating rink.

    That's actually a "Just Wow." Perhaps even a "Direct Wow."

    I'm quite certain there were several of those, including one by the highway, one at the jail, and one at the terminal, to name a few places.
     
    D.Tibbitt and WesternPlains Thank this.

    It means I’m no longer on probation. They don’t question my driving. Found nothing wrong with me. They have certified and accepted me.

    We accepted you long ago. Perhaps our vetting process needs to be more stringent.
