[highlight]A 150-mile stretch of Interstate 70 was closed for hours from Denver to Burlington, near the Kansas line, after falling temperatures turned slush to ice.
"There's an awful lot of trucks jackknifed in the median or across the road," said Dick Hormann, who was waiting out the delay at the Flying J Travel Plaza restaurant in Limon, about 70 miles southeast of Denver. "There's a lot of rigs across the road in both directions."
On the wide-open Plains, residents and emergency managers braced for blowing snow and wind up to 45 mph. Red Cross officials sent supplies to Byers, about 30 miles east of Denver, in case the weather stranded travelers along I-70.[/highlight]
Funny how this would not have meant a thing to me BEFORE the Rally in the Rockies...but now, aftre, I know exactly the stretch they are talking about!
