interesting drive to work this morning.
Lots of vehicles off the road.
Most of them on the E side of the Northbound lane.
Including a semi that was on its side, with the cab on its side. Classic jack-knife, but rotated 90 degrees. (hope the driver was ok.)
Oh yeah. It was pointed southbound. so either it did a 180 before getting in the ditch, or he crossed the entire northbound lane.
Also passed a semi that had one of its wheels frozen, not turning while the others were... even had a buildup of ice...

Work was slow, as would be expected. So was able to get a lot of stuff done! «g»
Deleted over 100 store built items (that we no longer carry) from our POS database.

Took a different route home, so don't know if they got the semi out of the ditch.

Indeed! It was bumper cars on I-74 into Champaign. That was the most in the ditches I've seen this winter.

I don't understand why more people do not realize you get less sparks when you keep the wheel side down?!
Slow it down yall?
