    Trapped a lot of bobcats, but never seen anything like that. That’s a big kitty.

    Heading from Idaho falls to Twin Falls near American falls snowed like crazy big ### flakes and near white out. The big climb westbound near the east rest stop about 10 trucks got stuck. Luckily they were all in the granny lane.

    CRE is stuck on that hill I posted pic of. Triangles out, looks like aborted chain attempt ( hes way late trying it where he is, think he slid off the berm ).

    Schneiser was parked at the top of that hill in Austin LOL. He had like 8 inches of snow on him, and it was just snowing like mad. Parked in the chain up area.
     
    InTooDeep and Lepton1 Thank this.

    I had an interesting situation yesterday. Was driving through Roseburg OR around 4:30pm. Ground was wet, sun in my eyes, and it just started snowing big flakes like crazy. Couldn't see a darn thing. It was like a white out while driving into the sun between the glare off the wet road and the snow. Slowed down to about 30 for a couple miles. Super truckers flying past me doing 60+ and I know they couldn't see anything either, but they plowed ahead regardless. Sunglasses helped some but still dangerous.

    Had a tanker in the breakdown lane on 15 yesterday morning between Inkom and McCammon, lit up by a trooper, trying to put chains on. Wasn't all that bad, a bit of ice. Then on the McAmmon overpass, a Flying J fuel tanker spun out, a trooper behind him. Don't think he hit the guard rail, but it was close. Got a little icey right around there.

    But, we jumped from 80% to 99% in snow pack in one day. Thanks Dave!

    "Dude. Doesn't your cat get cold?"

    Yes. Legalize marijuana everywhere.
