Research Methods - Blizzard Tricks on I-80
Snowdrifts on roadways are the obvious hazard, but poor visibility and pavement
icing are also in the blizzard's bag of tricks for travelers. Road cuts in
the rolling foothills of the Medicine Bow mountains quickly fill with
snowdrifts. Around-the-clock snow removal often could not match the
blizzards, forcing frequent road closure during the first winter for this
section of I-80.
