I just got up here west and it's pretty snowy.
00:03
Pretty limited visibility.
00:05
I don't know.
00:07
Unless Norm's out here, I'd like to have plenty of you guys stay up here.
00:12
Norm is swapping out truck train up so he's just fuel in the one and going to be in the other one in a little bit.
00:20
Ten for it, thank you.
00:23
Overhead signs that incident, ramp closed to 241 west.
00:28
That's going to be a problem.
00:31
Well, you got a 50-50 shot, but it's the ramp you need, I guess.
00:34
You can always take the other one and follow that to 36 if it's the second one.
00:42
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the second one that's closed.
00:44
Now, I'll take that first one to 36.
00:48
Oh, it's not so much the ramp.
00:51
Like there's stopped traffic in both directions on top of a bridge.
00:56
All the way down to the quick trip.
00:58
I bet it's at the roundabout.
01:00
Nope, it's a stopped train.
01:03
Oh, perfect timing.
01:06
All right, Todd.
01:10
It's just blowing and blowing and blowing.
