Traveling

After days of getting up before 7 at my brother's house, we are getting. late start this morning (my wife's fault). It's nearly 8:30 and we're not on the road yet, although we should be soon.
 
Stalled traffic in Pennsylvania- not sure what’s going on up ahead. We’ve been sitting here for quite awhile now.
 
80-E in Vanengo County. It doesn’t look like we’ll get home tomorrow. We might not get out of Vanengo County by tomorrow. The weather seemed fine, just a little bit of snow blowing.
 
Apparently, someone got munched by a truck or something. There are accidents all over Pennsylvania and apparently, they don’t do anything about it; they just let traffic back up for miles and miles.

I don’t know why they aren’t directing traffic to turn around at police turnarounds; I would if I could get to a police turnaround, but we haven’t moved an inch.
 
Here is another one, and it is completely red for a long ways. Are you anywhere close to either one of these locations ? I am seeing more, so probably road accidents, like you are thinking.
Try looking on your apple map that shows where you are and see what it shows for road blockages on it. That is how I am finding these.

This is getting serious. It will be dark soon and it is starting to snow again. I don’t know if we’ll ever get out of here.
 
A moment after posting my last post, we moved, but there is more standstill traffic up ahead so we’re spending the night in Clarion. I could see the wreckage of the truck/trailer and pieces of at least one car as we went by, then Waze said there was more standstill traffic up ahead so we took the first exit with a hotel. If we make it home tomorrow, it will be a long drive and I don't think I'll be able to persuade my wife.

The trip back is becoming problematic. Now, we have a flat tire. We have a spare, of course, but the problem is that the spare is not a studded tire, or even a snow tire, so traveling with three studded tire and one regular tire doesn't sound like a safe drive where there is likely to be snow or ice. Today, you can no longer just replace one tire with another, like I used when I was young and foolish, so we'll have to buy at least two tires, maybe four - I'm not sure of the potential problems with having two snow tires and two non-snow tires, or even if they will do that. We are about to find out. We might have to leave three usable tires behind because we don't have room to carry anything more than one spare tire.
