The closure is due to a semi that turned over I'm not thrilled with the lanes will open later today part. I hope they have a plan for us it's been over two hours now. Also hope There are no serious injuries involved. The big Tow trucks just showed up. You know it took over 40 minutes for anyone to just show up. Scary living in the sticks :(

Well that didn't last long but the snow is piling up fast. Guess the rain will clear it off in a bit.
