Winter storm pile up

[RapidRabbit]

We had a batch of nasty weather move through yesterday and today.

3-5 inches of snow followed by freezing rain and sleet yesterday. Then today white out blizzard conditions with 40-50 mph winds.

They closed 2 interstate highways after a 100 car pile up. Sadly one person died in the crash. This is the road I take to work but luckily I was off today.

They shut down I35 this morning from Ames up to Minnesota! Between Ames and Des Moines there were 100+ in the ditches. First time they’ve activated the gates that block I35 since I’ve been here (6 years).

They never close I41 fully.

Today about 15 miles of it has been closed for 7 hours so far and they are not expecting to get it cleared until midnight tonight.

Speaking of major interstate accident . About 20 years ago , due to suddenly fog coming up , 200 cars crashed , 110 people injured and 10 people passed away/died.
Max highway speed is 75 mp/h now but back then average speed was higher.

Dag op dag 20 jaar geleden: E17 werd één groot autokerkhof

Dinsdag 27 februari 1996 was misschien wel de zwartste dag uit de Belgische verkeersgeschiedenis. Om 10 uur ’s ochtends botsten meer dan 200 auto’s op elka...

In Germany such colisions did happen regurlar in the past but lately its happens less although on some highway stretch , there is no speed limit.

The snow may be gone by June. I think you'll be ok.
