What if it Snows?

Well I-80 in IA from about MM 250 to at least MM 201 is a mess... Its slicker than greased lightning. On top of that it was very windy east of MM 230 clear back into IL.

The Pilot at exit 201 is currently closed amd fuel pumps are not working due to power outage and staff not being able to make it in to work.

Between bad roads and being closed the place is dang near grid locked with trucks either trying to get in, get out, or get fuel. It took me over 20 mins just to get from the enterance to a parking spot... And that took the cooperation of 2 other drivers who jockeid around some so I could get through or around.

Oh yeah, and there is a truck completely blocking one isle... He's got triangles out and 4 ways on... Not sure whats wrong, but id guess he is either spun out or gelled up.

 

Westbound should be good. This storm is headed northeast and is long out of Iowa. The only residual snow I see extends from the Illinois border to cedar rapids.

 

oh boy, it's way worse than I anticipated on the ground. Never mind. The whole place is a cluster. Lol

 

From where I'm currently parked I can see at least 2 trucks with chains on... Looks like they came in that way last night.

 

I forgot to mention that from MM 250 to MM 201 I saw at least 6 trucks in the ditch... One of which I'm sure was blown over.
