Sometimes one just has to say, "I Gotta Get Outta This Place"! As travelers stuck in their cars for 48 Miles for up to 24 hours this week on I-95 in Washington DC and Virginia in yet another brutal winter storm are probably thinking...

Global News Reports on I-95 in Washington DC and Virginia January 4, 2022

Stranded Motorists Said "I've Never Seen it this bad before"!

Per Sophia Barnes NBC Washington, "Snow, rain and sleet were falling early Monday and traffic was moving along on southbound I-95 — until several tractor-trailers jackknifed in Stafford at about 8:20 a.m. 

What happened next was “unacceptable,” Marcie Parker, a VDOT engineer, said. Heavy snow was falling but salt trucks and plows could not get onto the highway to clear the snow. 

The region got heavy snow much faster than anticipated, Parker told reporters. 

“We did not anticipate the heaviness [of snow] for the length of time,” Parker said. “We knew that it was going to be coming down around an inch to an inch-and-a-half an hour, which is excessive, but it came down even faster at times, and we got more snow than was anticipated.” 

Workers were overwhelmed by a large number of stuck and abandoned vehicles, and 4 inches of ice on the roadway hindered crews. Officials hoped that some sunshine Monday afternoon would help melt the snow. But it wasn’t enough."

Hello Jeff - the recent East Coast incident is another reminder, that disasters of all kinds can and do happen.  And they seem to happen unexpectedly.  The I-95 situation had me recalling what happened in Texas last winter.  Not the same but certainly a mess.
