It is a strange spring . . . Even I-10 can have weird snowstorms and the wind can be awful.
Ahh, spring in the Rockies! We are going to have 80 degreees today and snow on Wednesday. And we seem to be getting a snowstorm every week on Monday or Tuesday night. So, if you're leaving on your Alaska trip right now and planning to travel I-70, I-80, I-90, or I-25 through Colorado or Wyoming, be prepared to spend a few days in some tiny town waiting for the weather to clear and roads to reopen.
Several years ago, I was working in Gallup, NM in April. For 3 days, I-40 was closed at the Arizona state line due to high winds. And, while driving from Denver to Gallup on I-25, we had to detour off the interstate through the streets of Las Vegas, NM due to a semi that had blocked both interstate lanes in town after being overturned by wind. Not exactly ideal trailer towing conditions!
