Today was mostly overcast, but no snow, just a very light breeze, and temps above freezing, so it was a real surprise when I was driving to go skiing and got on the interstate only to see...flashing lights ahead, and the gate drawn down across the interstate. It either meant there was some bad wind blowing snow around higher up (which sometimes happens even when it's relatively calm in town), or something else, like a wreck.

So I turned around and came back home, and immediately checked road conditions. It was a wreck, and it must have been bad, since it sounded like it had happened in the morning and yet the interstate still wasn't open.

Later I found it it had been a 24 vehicle wreck, mostly semi trucks.

Since skiing wasn't happening, or anything else up top, I ran from home. I think it's the first day I've missed skiing since Nov 27.
