Spent many years stationed in Fallon. Saw winters of 800+ inches of snow over the pass, mud slides etc. One winter people were trapped in their cars for over a day in mud slides on 80. Drove down to Lemoore once and couldn’t drive back over the Sierras for 6 days.

This past winter I80 was closed for 3 or 4 days if I remember correctly. And I believe it was right around xmas. This was an unusual year, but it does happen at least once a year where I80 will be closed for a day or two.

It has nothing to do with your inaccurate assumption about me.

one reason I don’t understand how people can do that commute. There is a wide range of times it will take to get to and from work.
for me, I leave 80-90 min prior to show. Gives me time to park, take a ****, get to ops, with a 10-15 min buffer if there is some unexpected traffic.
