Chaining..... uggh!

True story.... about 2 years ago now, my co driver and I were running through Ohio and it started to snow pretty consistently, but not severely enough to impact traffic flow much........

About 45 minutes later, we stopped for a safety(lights) check, bio break, and a snack. Since traffic was still not impacted, we decided to continue, yet reserved the right to reconsider if it got worse....... guess what? It got way worse......... within the next 60 minutes, we observed 7 collisions (3 involving commercial vehicles either across multiple lanes, or simply on their sides)..... that did us in. We called our office and told them to #### and listen to what we had to say about the conditions before saying anything.....

All this happened before anyone in authority made the call to at least add any sort of advisory, chain restrictions, or road closures....

That was a fun conversation. ... lol

 

Agreed, if I have to stop, it's at least gonna be at a rest stop away from anything resembling travel....

 

It isn't bad, unless you run into an hours problem. Not many places to stop. Best to stop at Weed(Pilot), 70 miles further is Klamath Falls(also a Pilot). Just a bit before Klamath is a series of 90 degree turns that you do not want to take faster than 15 or so.... 70 miles further is Chemult(also a Pilot), then it's another 200 miles until the 84.....
