I posted about the pile-up on I-94, in Mi, yesterday. Final count is 76 semi's & 117 cars.
Last report,(7pm today), both directions were still closed on this interstate, between marker 85 to 92. There is a good parallel bypass route, just south of I-94. more at wwmt.com
 
I have friends and family living in that part of MI they are all ok Thankfully! bad crash hope all of your are ok!

I ran freight through that area and I94 can be a real bear across Michigan & northern Indiana in the winter.
 
I was hauling groceries out of a warehouse near Fort Wayne during that fog. One of the other drivers heard about it on the cb and was slowing down, somehow got the attention of a motorist beside him or else they would have been crashing into him too. When she was getting in the way of trying to haul supplies in and bodies out he dialed the office and told her to thank them for sending him that way. She said she was doing 75 couldn't see the length of his truck and doesn't know what would have happened had she not seen him.
Had one due to white out in Erie PA early in 07. Woman about stopped in the west bound i90 lanes. A Werner barely missed a fuel tanker only to get hooked and drug into the median by a US Express. Worked local that week and drove on snow pack for 4 days. Snow plows came out about 330 and put enough salt down to make things really slick for everyone on the way home from work. But wouldn't put it down in the morning for the sun and traffic to work at it because they didn't want to waste it for being too cold.
New York must use better salt their roads were bare on day 1.
 
I hauled grocery supplies into Fort Wayne to two warehouses . One was Super market services and the other was a Krogers warehouse. Never really like delivering to them every thing had to be finger printed.
 
Wal-Mart in Auburn. Schneider doesn't even have the contract any more. They surveyed for the dry goods side three times in the 2 1/2 years I drove there then announced they were building a new facility in Gas City. Always had to laugh at the rookies couldn't figure out how to get scaled legal and their first stop was the Auburn store for half the load.
