(NPR) Storm Strands Motorists, Workers At I-70 [Pilot’s Flying J] Truck Stop in Missouri

Posted by Kendall Harmon

Interstate 70, through central and eastern Missouri, was closed down for a while because of snow and ice. The closure stranded many motorists and workers along the highway. Host Michele Norris speaks to Terri Brackney and Greg Stratton, who work at the Travel Plaza Truck Stop in Warrenton, Mo., and have been stranded there since Monday.

Over 200 trucks parked overnight! Egads! Listen to it all--KSH (Hat tip: Elizabeth).

That was an unusually spotty storm.  The part of St. Louis where I live received mostly sleet and not much snow at all.  And the main roads seem to be cleared off now.  A good storm but certainly no 1982.
