CHP Truckee: "(03/02/24 at 8:30am)
I-80 remains closed at the Nevada state line and Colfax. Last night, we had a mass amount of vehicles stuck over Donner Summit and it took several hours for emergency personnel and tow trucks to reach motorists."
"At one point, emergency personnel and tow trucks had a difficult time getting to motorists due to blizzard conditions. @CaltransDist3
is currently evaluating the roads and we will be working on recovering vehicles left on the freeway after motorists were transported to a safe location. There is no estimated time of reopening the freeway, so we suggest you stay home. Stay warm and don’t put yourself and your family in a dangerous situation." #DonnerPass #DonnerSummit #snow #traffic #CAwx #CHP #truckee
@JohnJBurnsIII it takes a special person to approach Donner Pass in the winter and say “I’ll take my chances.”
@smallerdemon @JohnJBurnsIII And what is your proposed alternative?
@antares @JohnJBurnsIII Buddy, I'm an idiot, so you're asking the wrong guy.
@antares @smallerdemon
Choose not to park in snow drifts on a road amongst other similarly stuck travelers.
Delay a day or 3.
It can't be an Emergency to be stuck.
