Semis stuck in snow cause hours-long backup on Cincinnati interstate

[@johnrinke8080]

Its almost as if no one warned them this was coming!

[@Lobonova]

Its called working. Sorry you never heard of it.

[@angelalake200]

i hear you. i used the main roads so i can pull off if necessary. but, mostly use the metro bus 👍💪 it will get you there eventually. i'm late but i made it.😂

[@bf6159]

LMFAO Until I was retired, there was no such thing as a weather related reason to have a day off, from 1987 to 2020. No show meant no job, regardless the reason, State and Private employer alike. Too many folks today are but 3 steps from a mobility scooter... less a single injury. The folks making derogatory comments will be the first to complain when they cannot obtain a want in a retail setting or have food delivered in such conditions! Can't imagine life less the basic comprehension of matters such as Logistics and Stock Replenishment. When the Post Office is closed, folks are still in there casing and separating deliverables.

LOL!!!

Oh, THAT’S where my Amazon purchase is!!

[@geanettepartington691]

My thoughts exactly.

[@obsolete208]

the amazon I work at in northern Cincinnati has been closed for the last 2 days.

@ Ah, understandable

[@andrewczski1969]

Only if there was something that existed like weather warnings, forecasts, or something like that.

Must be nice you dont have to drive to feed your family

[@Volcanodude85]

Weather forecast have to be accurate…

[@angelalake200]

news channels use the word storm too often. spending days building up to the "storms ". they are so unreliable that it makes it hard to take them seriously.

[@JS-zb1vv]

Yea the world doesn’t stop . Shouldn’t hospitals and all public servants just stay home too during all inclement weather.

[@SHREDTILLDEAD]

Or snow chains.

[@porkrind3512]

OMG 😱 Another surprise snow storm ?!?! How on earth could this happen ?? If only there was a way to see the snow sneeking up on you ?? Then you could change your plans or modify them to work around it or just stay home ???

do yall get snow down there?

Not true we have infrastructure that works The snow fell fast

Try living up in Northern Ohio near Ashatabula, Ohio . This snow you all carrying on about is just a dusting compared to the 24 - 36 inches we get up here !

[@rah2209]

Thats just mean! Seriously, not everyone lives in a snow-belt like you do. I’m sure there are other areas in the world that get more than you.

[@nathueil1]

Jeff we try our best with what we get. We don't need the insensitive remarks about the less fortunate counties that got less snow than you did.

[@FUTBOLis1]

I used to live in Cleveland and the city is ready for snow it had enough plows and salt to keep Major roads open. Cincinnati doesn't get this much snow and doesn't have the resources to clear the roads nearly as fast

[@panini5657]

And your counties and cities are much more prepared. Didnt even see salt on my street in Cincinnati the day before the snow storm. Sad to see the city wasnt planned at all even though we had warning of the storm days before.

i'm not jealous one bit. Stay safe.

[@SL-vy8ue]

A 19 hour road trip to each way to Austin made me realize just how untrained and unprofessional long haul drivers are. We ended up driving overnight to avoid them. They are dangerous. It’s no surprise they’ve gummed up our roadways during this storm.

[@mitmaks]

Strange they have technology to go to the moon but can't plow roads.

[@NickSupe]

@@mitmaks there's are a lot of roads, and not that many city plow trucks in comparison. especially when it's actively snowing and they have to plow the same roads over and over

It’s not that they didn’t know about this storm but those truck drivers have to do this regardless of of the weather, otherwise there would be no food in the grocery stores and you whiners wouldn’t get your Amazon deliveries!

[@wayne-d8g]

Guess people don't remember real snow storms!! 5" is not a Blizzard!

[@Americca_Is_Doomed]

The amount of snow doesn't make it a blizzard.....it's the wind blowing the snow causing whiteout conditions.

[@wayne-d8g]

@@Americca_Is_Doomed I lived in MN!!

[@thomeg492]

@@wayne-d8g Shocking that weather in one area of the country is not the exact same as another! We also don't have the same infrastructure set up to prepare and respond to these weather events as an area that is regularly pummeled with heavy amounts of snow.

[@cyndeelou-i1e]

Maybe they don’t get snow like this often..We don’t where I live so when we do ppl can not drive in it

[@Americca_Is_Doomed]

@@wayne-d8g So? Then you should know what a blizzard is. Officially, the National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm which contains large amounts of snow OR blowing snow, with winds in excess of 35 mph and visibilities of less than 1/4 mile for an extended period of time (at least 3 hours). 2 inches of snow can cause blizzard conditions....

if its snowing-icing etc make it a law you shut the damn thing down and get paid 200 bucks to do so and you cant get fined- booted or towed ever---- got to be cheaper than a billion dollars spilled on teh side of a highway with lost lves-- but noooo lets make drivers live like robots with elds as that makes more sense
