[QUOTE="donna723, post: 68033, member: 1883"] Oh, that's awful! I hope they get it re-opened soon. What a mess! I can't imagine what the temperatures must be like on the pavement! I always feel so sorry for the people who have babies and small kids. We had just the opposite problem on I-40 last winter! (Or was it the winter before?) It was a [i]really[/i] cold night and the interstate started icing up badly, then there was a wreck with two 18-wheelers involved. It was so slick, [i]nobody[/i] could drive on it! The eastbound side (going towards Nashville) was closed down for over 12 hours and people were stuck in their cars in freezing temperatures. And unless you really luck out and get stopped right by an exit, there is [i]no[/i] way to get off. From the exit I get off on to go to work, it's five miles to the next exit one way and seven miles the other way. I've gotten stuck for a couple of hours before, just on the little five-mile stretch of I-40 that I drive every day. And it's been just my luck that this only seems to happen when I'm almost out of gas ... and have to use the bathroom [i]really bad[/i]! [/QUOTE]
