Went over and loaded first thing this morning. Loaded a Case 2050 Dozer that is going to Brownsville, Texas.
Started snowing just north of Atlanta. Just a dusting, no biggie. On I-85 north of the Alabama line it started with freezing rain. The roads rapidly deteriorated. Passed a bunch of crashes. Most of them from iced over bridges. Here are a few of them.
I had to stop for the rest of the day because my permit won't allow driving in those conditions. Stopped at a truck stop in Cusseta, Alabama on I-85 at exit 70. South from here at mile marker 57 was a very bad head on crash with fatalities. Traffic was diverted off the interstate. In Montgomery there was a crash on the bridge at the I-65 and I-85 interchange involving two semi trucks. The interchange was shut down. My Alabama escort arrived and I sent him to find a hotel for the rest of the day. We will see what the weather looks like tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will improve. Here is what my load looked like when I stopped at the truck stop. That is what is on the roads, especially the bridges.
