01-26-2021 Mount Shasta, CA - Major Winter Storm Shuts Down 100 Miles of Interstate 5

[@leswalker2639]

I believe my experience in bad weather like this is you just stay home by the fireplace and drink hot chocolate.😁

[@itsmeecjay4769]

Or some medium rare steak with some red wine and a fine gal by your side to keep u warm 😉 🤣

[@markmorris3579]

Les Walker- I'm in Maine so I agree with your comment.I've seen a few storms like this one,it's best to stock up on firewood for the wood stove as well as food and wait it out.

[@Demonoid1990]

Not me I'm a long haul trucker, I usually just forge my way through all chained up. But unfortunately in California and Wyoming they like to flat out shut down the highway during inclement weather. So now I'm stuck parked in a mud pit here in Corning, CA with probably about 500+ other trucks around here. They better open the roads soon, otherwise trucks will be parking all over the freeway too, we're running out of room here, or I should say we are out of room here.

[@emiltrees]

@@Demonoid1990 I drove for years across Wyoming and California. You're right about California, but not Wyoming unless it's changed. I was caught in 3 Blizzards and I was all by myself crawling along until I got through. I was lucky looking back on it. I drove almost 2 million miles without a scratch.

[@davidmunro6939]

I have learned a trick while driving in Canadian blizzards If you wear polarized amber or mild sunglasses in a storm you can see farther . This has saved me many times.

[@rivaoceanview4211]

If they have any pregnancies or medical emergency type patients they should go stay in a motel close to the hospitals before the storm get there if they can. Makes life easier for everyone.. Smart if they already know they're going to need a hospital. If they have to travel s long ways to get to a hospital.

[@mattmoschkau84]

Sounds good, except then travelers can’t get off the roads and find places to stay. You’d be amazed at how quickly hotels fill up when bad weather strikes. People with health issues tend to have supplies at home to treat themselves better than they can travel with and if roads are impassable is a pregnant woman better off in a hotel than at home? In other words it sounds great but would offer no real advantage except making some people feel better.

[@garagelife684]

I am not spending none of my money on no stinking motel

[@maxsdad538]

If they were in need of a hospital, they wouldn't be staying in Mt Shasta... it has no hospital. It only has a pissant little critical care center. They'd go to Yreka (why-REE-kuh) about 25 miles up I-5 and to Fairchild Medical Center.

For all the people saying don't chain a steer axle, what exactly are you supposed to chain on a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR??? I'm a truck driver too, with many winters under my belt, and I've had to chain the steer tire on my semi a couple of times because of extremely icy conditions. Also, if you have a four wheel drive, like a pickup, and one set of chains, you always chain the front.

God loves you so very, very much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and repent. :)

FRONT WHEEL DRIVE SUCK IN THE SNOW

[@Aiijuin]

Actually... my parents had a Saab (front wheel drive) and a Chevy Chevelle station wagon rear-wheel drive in the 80s. The front wheel drive Saab was much, much better in snow than the rear wheel drive Chevy. The rear wheel drive car would fishtail everywhere in the snow and dig itself deeper into drifts. It wasn’t until they bought their 4x4 Bronco that we had the best snow traction though.

[@grabitz]

Global warming. Just look at all that hot snow people sweating to death dying from the heat.

[@rivaoceanview4211]

If a motel was full they could always ask the truck drivers if they could share or vacate a room for a pregnant person and those truckdrivers are at the top of the good list when they are seasoned veterans and have a family.. It's like they usually have a truck that can temporarily house then they just need food and a toilet room and shower..

[@garagelife684]

Or that pregnant person could of not got pregnant in the first place like my mom. That's one reason why I don't like to go out in public is so that I don't have to see the people's stupid kids

[@maxsdad538]

You REALLY don't know what you're babbling about, viewboy. EVERY motel room between Mt Shasta and Yreka will be gone FIFTEEN MINUTES after the freeway's shut down. And every available parking space that can HANDLE a truck and trailer will be filled just as quickly, with VERY FEW drivers getting motel rooms. Do you have ANY IDEA how much traffic I-5 north of Redding gets? I lived there for 10 years, and vacationed there another 25. It doesn't sound like you've even found the area on a frigging map, and you're passing out advice that can be DANGEROUS! PLEASE... keep your mouth shut!

[@rivaoceanview4211]

Don't agree. Pregnant women should be able to find a hotel near a hospital unless the hospitals are still using hotels and motels and such for employees to stay until the pandemic is over enough they can go home and not expose their families. If someone's 50 miles out in rural areas better to be safe than sorry and with the pandemic they probably can't find a friend or relative to quarentine for the rest of the duration of the pregnancy. As in if was my daughter or inlaw I'd loan then a room because I'd be too scared of them not having the hospital staff they needed when they're ready for the arrival of their baby.. maybe you don't have kids but I see that everyone needs that security and safety. And not everyone gets that..I didn't have that security once in my life and want any fun at all.. Nobody should have to be alone when they are in a crisis situation..

[@maxsdad538]

What are you babbling about?

[@jeanfish7]

Mt Shasta has a wonderful little hospital, full birthing facilities within 15 miles of 3 towns. Yreka also has a hospital to the South. Oh, and I've experienced those storms babysitting. Everything fine a 7pm, all hell breaks loose by 11pm. Been there, done that. Born in Mt. Shasta, raised in Weed.
