We are out of here!!!!
I saw this couple on I-90 near Erie, PA. The plate said New York, but they were heading WEST at a good pace. Wish I would have got a pic from the other side----still a bit of pine tree stuck up there...

i wonder how many thousands of 18 wheelers caught in those storms, climbed up and cleared off the trailer roof before getting back on the road
Many 18 wheeler trailer roofs are not rated to walk on. The roof is designed to keep the load dry while driving down the road. They are no where near as strong as an RV roof.
They are not much more than a thin sheet of material to keep out weather. Quite often they are designed to so that the celing will also allow light through them.
I never once thought of climbing onto a 13' 6" high trailer to remove the snow. First low underpass---most of it will come off. Eventually, it will all blow/slide off, or MELT. Once in a while, I would get stopped trying to enter the T/P in Ohio. Mostly they would see the snow and override the height sensor. Occassionaly, some toll taker with too much authority would refuse to let me on the T/P.
Worse part was never YOU GUYS BEHIND ME...get over it. The part that scared the******out of me is when I would stop and that ice slide onto the roof of my cab. Surprises me every time!!!! Makes one hell of a crashing sound.
