Question Hey Skeet, did you hear about Interstate 78 last week

A 50 mile or so stretch shutdown due to the icing conditions, with drivers trapped on the limited access highway.
Even PennDOT plows were caught in the snarl and couldn't get out. The little road thru my town was jam-packed with eastbound traffic being diverted from the Interstate 24 hours a day. Heard the backup went from Hershey to Valley Forge. We only had to respond to one MVA which was a jeep vs tractor trailer. Minor damage.
The Turnpike stopped charging fees for awhile to try and ease the traffic burden but then the Turnpike had some problems too.
