Having inserted this I now can’t get above it to type anything, oops. Exit 142 is where John normally gets on the freeway to go south. Neither of us drives north from that exit normally. I drive north from exit 148, and pass the area where the semi rolled over. John drives south and goes over Roberts Mt Hill. I’m entertained, but more so because we’re safely home.

Please note on that last incident (aside from the spelling of numerous) that despite the fact that the “median, all lanes and the shoulder” are blocked, the road is not closed. One should just drive with caution. Don’t ask me, I’m not out there. Maybe they’re blocked in different places, it is 12 miles worth.

John, in from feeding, says he had snow up to the top (knee level aprox) of his boot at some point while he was outside just now.
