We spent almost 3 hours parked at Donner Pass (yeah, THAT Donner Pass), due to multiple spin outs on I-80 β€” long enough for several centimeters of snow to build up around cars, and this guy went snowboarding down the middle!

It's eerie to watch 4-wheel-drive off-road vehicles WITH chains slide on the snow covered roads!

It's exponentially more eerie to see a pickup truck and a semi both sliding in front of us. We gave plenty of distance and fortunately both vehicles made it safely to the side of the road.

I couldn't get any pictures of it, but the tire tracks in the snow covered highway told a horror story of the many cars that lost traction. 6.5 hours to drive 40 miles is grueling but I'm glad we got through safely.
