Well here I sit, in the T.A. truck stop in breezewood PA. with over two foot of snow surrounding my parked rig. We sat on the Pennsylvania Turnpike last night for three hours waiting for them to get another truck out of the median barrier. He lost control because I assume he was driving too fast for the conditions (blizzard) and slammed the out side rail then busted through the two foot thick concrete center divider. After that it took another hour to go 29 miles to where I am now. Last night I saw snow flake the size of half dollars! I get up this morning and steep out of my truck into a snow drift up to my knees. I turn on the C.B. and hear that the turnpike (I76) is closed going westbound due to a jack knifed rig over 60 miles west of here. Listening to the PA. dept of trans. radio on the scanner I found out that they have brought out the national guard to bring food and water to cars and trucks stranded out on the highway! Not good news!
So as I understand it, they have miles and miles of people stranded between here and Somerset PA. that have sat there all night while the snow piled up around their vehicles, so once they get the wreck cleaned up they still have to go dig out damned near everybody that has sat out there all night! What a mess! Hopefully I will get home soon! I may have to listen to the superbowl on the satellite radio. Or should I call it the big game so I don't get sued by the NFL?
PEACE
