What if it Snows?

Should be clear sailing after that.

Sucks to be you...

 

Alright! Mud time! Just got dispatched to a rig near Watonga. Time to play.

 

Ran through that mess this morning,shut down for a sleeper at the petro in Oklahoma City,heard about the wreck at the 71.

 

Ok. 1491 miles into the trip back to AZ and there is no snow.
There was freezing rain. Lots & lots of freezing rain with untold carnage.

10 accidents I saw between OKC & Amarillo. 9 including the big one by Clinton.

3 involving big trucks. The Big One was two independents got tangled up. Crash & burn. Didn't see the fire, but one trailer was chopped in half, the front charred half remaining, with singed cargo strewn about everywhere.

DOT just dragged both rigs to the shoulder in the grass and left them there.

The tractor from the singed trailer was not there. The other rig was just mangled. Columbia. Both dry boxes.

Again by a LOVES. This is why Love's is bad @IluvCATS.

The crash with PRIME was real bad. He was jack knifed hard, mangled, pointing the wrong way, with a car and a pickup with a toy hauler down in a gully about 20 feet deep over the side. PRIME was still by the edge of the highway.

Temp was down to 14F all through there. Hugest problem was probably visibility due to frozen windshield.
I know my wipers are trashed.

Anyway, it's 81 now, was, now it's mid 70s, had to turn on the AC, so I don't think I was the one that brought the ice storm, I'm not gonna mention any names.

AND

HAHAHAHAHA

I'm seeing signs that have milages for cities in ARIZONA!!!!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

 

What the heck is foot of cabbage?
BYW: It snowed in Maine last night.

 

Isn't that about the size of a head of cabbage? lol

 

It’s near the WildHorse Casino...

 

I started out westbound on I-40 around 9:30 this morning. Power divider engaged, traffic flowing smoothly, then quickly came on a severely jacknifed CRE on the hammer shoulder. Several more accidents involving 4 wheelers by the time I got to the Calumet exit.

Traffic crawled along. I think folks were freaked out by the carnage. Likely a fatality, looked like a car had gone through a wrecking yard compactor in the eastbound median with several aid cars on hand.

That CRE was still in place when I came back to town at 3:30 pm, still jacknifed, but now with three heavy haul wreckers working the problem. Made me think of that CRE that didn't take the Kilpatrick northbound exit AND failed to merge onto I-40 eastbound a couple of years ago. He split the difference and went headlong into a muddy side slope and rolled it. That one took all day. The wreckers eventually towed him about 200 yards through soft ground to southbound S Sara Road.

Wreckers made BANK today.

 

I haven't engaged power divider through any of these adventures.

I think that's why they just moved that big wreck to the side, and probably PRIME.
Just worked in tandem to keep the road open, pick up the pieces later.
When I saw all those wrecks within 78 miles, I couldn't believe they didn't just close the highway.
The road surface wasn't that bad.
The last piece of ice didn't come off my windshield until MM 311 in NM.
