      Beauty in appearance, horror in real life. Being stuck in a blizzard is imminent death within hours, if you cannot find a heat source. Not something you want to to be exploring alone without backup, or at night. Best watched on RUclips. :)

      Less than that, really. This storm is bringing gusts over 120MPH in some spots. Windchills at that level are low enough to give you frostbite in a few minutes.
      It stakes a special kind of person to work for CalTrans or CHP on a normal day, much less along I-80 during winter storms like this. You know it's bad when even snow plows need chains, and It's very easy to see how the Donner Party ended up stranded here.

Good practice for winter driving, with any vehicle, as it may save your behind one day. I encourage all new drivers to find an open parking lot and go play, so they won't panick when things start to get slippery. And oh, I've never tried it with an 18 wheeler either!! Peace out.

Former Nevada/Placer County resident (Nevada City and Auburn, CA) checking in and watching the weather from Twin Falls, Idaho, where we are currently getting the snow and wind from this event at 2:20 pm, Sunday, March 3rd.
    Would NOT want to be anywhere on Hwy. 80 right now, but then I know better than to be out in this kind of weather (35 years there did the trick!)

    Smart Governors and smart government highway officials order all vehicle traffic off the roads when they have excessive snow falls. That way the plow drivers can far more effectively do their jobs and it avoids unnecessary vehicle accidents, injuries and vehicle damage repairs. That smarter and safer approach also avoids having disabled vehicles on the roads and the need for tow trucks blocking the roads which can prevent snow plow drives from doing their jobs.

    • @DavidVanHelden1
