    Drove down through there this morning. Highways were just a shiny sheet of white. Packed snow that made ice. Saw two wrecked semis and about 8 wheelers off the road stuck.

    Parts of that stretch I kept it at about 30mph. 30-45 is how I traveled that. Once I hit Whitchita Falls it was fine.

    Some sort of white frozen substance seemed to be leaking from the grey stuff up In the sky.

    New Mexico is a desert, right?
