25 accidents between Iowa City and Des Moines on I80 today [View all]
It was a slippery ride from Cleveland to Missouri, left Cleveland on snowpacked roads for 25 miles, everyone out at 5:30 am seemed to be driving with extreme caution. Cleared off through the windy city but the temp plunged to 4° and stayed there until we turned south at Des Moines.
Hit snow in Iowa City and people didn't seem to respect it as we saw many car and trucks slide off the road. Multi-car pileup in Des Moines. I even had a moment my self merging on the interstate when I hit a slick spot, a little swing this way and then that before we got it straightened out.
Have to flip the trip on Wednesday.
