We're no strangers to ice and snow and I-80 is legendary for wild weather swings.
We don't get bent out of shape for a few hours delay here and there.
But this is the 3rd MAJOR stranding of motorists on a limited access roadway I can recall in the past 2yrs or so. 16+ hours on the Turnpike TWICE in the past 2 years and now this one on I-80.
Without getting political or anything that makes this warning to fellow members get deleted, I can say the "response" to these situations is one that definitely puts travelers in significant danger.
Do you have enough fuel to idle your vehicle for 24hrs? What about food, water, bathrooms? Kids, pets? Bitter cold?
As more of our fellow RV'ers are heading out and planning routes through our state, it is definitely worth sounding the warning to avoid this trouble spot right now.
I am having trouble getting an up to date status on the situation. Almost like it is a "secret"
If anyone has a link or resource for current status, please share it.
I talked with some buddies, we're considering heading Northwest and violating some "traffic laws" to get people out of there.
