We have had that problem of stranded cars blocking the roads here in Co just about every time there is a major snow storm. Pena Blvd,which leads to Denver International, was closed for a few days while they tried to remove the cars so they could plow the road.
People are indeed too stupid not to go out when they don't need to, someone has to watch out for the idiots.
I still can't believe they named that road after him. I still throw up in my mouth every time I get the visual of him wearing those Colorado flag running shorts back in the 80's (think SHORT running shorts.)
Ugh.
And FWIW, in an urban area, it doesn't take much to jack EVERYTHING up. I used to tell my friends when I lived back in CA that I didn't need a nuclear weapon, all I needed was a dozen stalled cars and I'd rule LA.
I don't like the idea that people are being "ordered" to stay off the roads, but then again, only the threat (and actual implementation) of jail and fines seems to slow some idiots down, and even then, not all of them.
For the record, coming home today was EASY compared to what was expected. Most roads from Conway south were clear and dry. The only "rough" roads were the ones in the North Country (north of Conway, esp. Route 2) but even those had been plowed/sanded a couple of times at least.
