I'd bet that most if not all of those wrecks began in the left lane.

I don't know how I survived Wyoming,
Running from Texas to Portland for 7 years straight.
In the winter time only,when the rates where high.
I used to be fearless, just plow right through it,
From one end to the other.
Now I'm old and scared to death of it.
I feel my luck is gonna run out and I end up
Burning alive in one of these multi truck pileups.
I just stay east of I-35 now all winter long.
It just ain't worth the money. -
Why is anybody even driving? You cant even see the road!!!!!! Even the smallest amount if snow creates issues in Wyoming because of wind

My husband told me about this a couple of hours ago. He came upon the road closure and turned around and found a truck stop. He is going to leave in the morning if everything is clear.
