I drove a 16' uhaul pulling a double axle uhaul trailer from Aberdeen SD to Evanston WY in January of 2009. It was 34 below when we left during a "ground blizzard" and by the time we got to Evanston (about 950 miles) it was 23 above and felt downright balmy.
We were able to go the speed limit in SD even with the heavy cross winds because there was no traffic and the road was straight.
This was taken at about 55 mph going over the Missouri river.

As a "kid", we (I) passed the snowplow out of Green Springs, WY heading to Jackson Hole in a hurry.
We had installed the studded rear tires (on a 1965 Mustang 6 cyl 3 spd with three >6 ft guys) in Medicine Bow, WY (prior to I-70 and right next to the RR tracks - a train came through in the middle of a snowstorm and scared the **** out of us) during the preceding night and lived to tell the tale. It's not recommended to pass a plow on a two lane when the viz is zer0. I realize that now.

I'd slow down going over that bridge.
YouTube videos of this winter to follow.

Isn’t that the bridge from “town” rather than the bridges of the Interstate?
