There was no obvious damage to the trailer but some of the pallets had broken up and they were waiting for manpower to offload it by hand.
Yeah I passed 2 roll-overs still laid on their side heading to Cincy for Xmas this past Tuesday. 1 was right at the VA-WV border on I-64 and another was like 15 miles into WV which was being pulled upright when I went by. Passed several trucks that had gotten "plowed in" on the shoulders after they either pulled off and the plows blocked them in with a snowbank or had slid off the road and got plowed in by the plows. Some folks just don't know when to park it and get caught out. Passed 2 jackknifes that happened that morning due to melting snow that had re-froze overnight because they simply weren't paying attention though the one may have been due to a 4-wheeler who wiped out in front of the truck. Looked like the truck jackknifed just trying to get stopped to keep from driving over them, didn't see any damage to the truck but the car was tore up and in front of the truck. |
I was driving home from Seattle, WA by way of Utah, in Texas the temp. was 10 degrees, what's up with that? That is the coldest temp. I have been in all year. Until this trip and the snow I was in out West, the most snow I had been in was in Texas! Global warming my ***!

Sitting at home watching it snow - yet again. They're calling for 4-8 inches here, with 6-12 in the hills just east of me.
So, if you're out there, be careful going across I-68. Better yet, park and wait until daylight to go across it if you have to. |
