ouch, that's nasty. I heard there was a pretty ugly one on I76 in PA. I think around Somerset. Must have gotten slick after I went through. I've been lucky this week to miss the severe weather.

Looks like nobody got hurt so thats good. I agree about the sleeper. That would have been a rude awakening and is why I refuse to drive team. Waking up in the air halfway to the windshield doesn't appeal to me.

It was -21 with the wind chill yesterday at the airport when I was unloading, it's supposed to be a heat wave (32*) this weekend........

the one in pa was at mm 182 in the pike. three trucks and a tour bus. it was on the westbound side but one truck hit the jersey wall so hard that his cab came off the frame and landed in the eastbound lanes. it was shut down from about 3am till i think i heard 8 or 9 am. i heard about it before and did the detour to hagerstown and back up 70 to breezewood.....what a night.

Ah...yes....MIchigan....fond memories of 94 in the winter time. Actually, I am surprised to see any of the police out there. WHen I was running it in the winter, you fended for yourself. Police didn't come out until it quit snowing and the salt / sand shakers were done. One time came down that stretch... topped the hill and on my way down I'm watching Werner do donuts and ended up straight across the westbound lanes! Some good downshifting, jakes, puckered a*s, and a prayer, and I got past him!
