One time back in the early 80's I went on a road trip with my Frat brothers in my 77 Dodge van. Coming back we ended up in a blizzard. I was hung over as all get go. We pulled into town finally after about 8 hours on the road and everyone was like, "where did you come from?". So we told them we just pulled in. Unknown us, the Interstates were all closed. Hmmm. That might explain why there was no traffic as we were doing a solid 60mph and there was 1 1/2 feet of snow on them. Guess they just shut the gates but we were already out there.
60 mph with 1 1/2 feet of snow. In a van. Never happened.
Ditto. I drove to Chicago in the great blizzard of 78 - Detroit had 20 inches, Chicago had about 22". Fastest I could go was 35 MPH. Cars were spinning out all the way along I-94. In those conditions, if you got up to 60, it was maybe for 5 seconds, then big roostertail, & you were stranded in the middle between the lanes, or off in a ditch somewhere. BTW, I made it in my 73 Roadrunner with G60-14's.
