Drivers were stuck on an interstate near Washington, D.C., after a major snowstorm struck the East Coast.
Hundreds of drivers were stuck on Interstate 95 in Virginia for hours, with some claiming to have been there for over 19 hours after one of the state's largest snowfalls in years.
The jam was so bad that "some people were seen abandoning their vehicles in snow-covered travel lanes, walking down I-95 to parts unknown," according to WTOP traffic reporter Dave Dildine, describing the incident as a "worst-case scenario."

I saw that on TV
I am from Buffalo, and I thought “they closed the road for THAT..???” That’s a typical morning commute here
The link gives “404 not found”
If only we could predict weather
LOL!!!
DC shuts down with the first sign of a snowflake.
snow is racist
I’d bet they don’t use snow tires, which makes driving on snow covered roads stupid.

“some people were seen abandoning their vehicles in snow-covered travel lanes, walking down I-95 to parts unknown,”
They’ll find them...in the spring.
The same “storm” went thru East Tennessee...roads are perfectly fine...dry as a bone, traffic moving right along. LOLOL at these leftist idiots.
I’m confused, why are they referring to Fallout from Man Made Global Warming as “snow”?, Everybody knows that the “
Science” says SNOW IS IMPOSSIBLE in our Heated World, so what is the white stuff covering the ground, if not FALLOUT From Global Warming??
Sounds like someone in the VA state government wants to make the new governor look bad
That section of I95 has huge traffic jams even in perfectly clear weather, on weekends.
The only alternative routes are US1, and some two-lane country roads with no shoulders, and lots of curves and hills.
It’s not snow; it’s SOY!
The new governor is to be sworn in on January 15.
Looks like that miserable Northam is being a deliberate jerk.
And yeah, the snow is wetter there and tends to form ice much more easily, so there is that factor as well.

“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence”
I’ve driven that stretch for years from Hampton Roads to DC.
What happened to the plows?
The main industry in NoVA is screwing taxpayers.
