jm, One news story this morning showed jackknifed semis in the middle of the mess and no exits close by to get on or off I95 for help to arrive. One story said they got 3 to 4 inches of snow per hour. Another story said they couldn't pre-treat because the rain would wash it off.
I can tell you one time I was on I 70 and got caught in a blizzard. I 70 became pot hole city. Snow got packed in my cars and semi's and no way for snow plows to get the hard pack off the road. I took to an exit and hopped on US 40 that paralleled I70. The road had little traffic and was clear sailing back to Terre Haute. The road crew didn't have packed snow to deal with.
Around Terre Haute, snow crews are pretreating before it snows and plows are running when the snow begins. Too late to remove snow if you wait for the snow to stop.
So no pretreating because it was raining. Too much snow too fast is another reason. Too much traffic that packed the snow and couldn't remove it.
I'm lucky to have a county commissioner living on the same road.
1.25 miles to main road 63 and 63 is one of the roads that gets pretreated and plows are going by my house before it starts snowing.
