Troopers are reporting white out conditions in the tri-city area on I-80, Highway 34, Highway 30, and other roadways in the area. Numerous crashes or slide-offs that troopers and other agencies are working now.

The gates are down on I-80 from York to Kearney westbound. Do not drive around the gates to get onto the road. Several other highways in the area are also closed at this time. Check http://511.Nebraska.gov for updated info as the storm moves through.

D.Tibbitt and Dale thompson Thank this. -
Estes asked if I wanted to take empties (pups) back to Denver from Salt Lake City, yesterday morning. I said, heck no, knowing that the wind was going to pick up late morning. I80 is no place to be deadhead, especially winter. Hard enough loaded. So I told them I could take I70. Ended up dropping the empties at our terminal in Grand Junction and hauling a double load back to Denver. Was just starting to get nasty when I passed thru Vail/Copper. Wasn't for the traffic backup (1 hour delay), coming down to Denver, would have been in the clear.
