    I'd like to hear Sinatra's version of "My baby likes to rock it like a boogy woogy choo choo train."

    Epic black ice carnage on 80 in Iowa. At least 20 big trucks rolled over or pinned in the cable barrier. Buster Brown and Saia amongst the usual suspects, Swift and Navajo.

    Some looked like they'd been there awhile, some real fresh, 4 ways and triangles out.

    Why?

    I've not a clue. It was wtf cold, and it was blowing, but the road surface was clean and seemed dry.

    This was over about a 50 mile stretch nearer Illinois.

    Depends where you are at. That thing rolled past south of us.

    Up in WA along I5 we just got a little dusting. Not even a solid blanket on the grass.

    Definitely not enough to be concerned when sitting on my stool at home.

    Dog got ice wads on the fur of his feet when I took him out though.

    I hate 5. Congested as F. And so many bad drivers. Sprinkled with multiple super coups in the communist state, Orygun, and Washington.

    And they want to test the autonomous trucks between Seattle and Portland because of high freight volumes and they can do round trips in a day.

    Well and Paccar up in Seattle area and Daimler in Portland....

    Thankfully I can do what I need to do on state highways and not use 5 much.
