Between Des Moines and Iowa City on Friday morning, after Wednesday night’s snow and Thursday’s wind, I counted the following in the ditch: 17 semis (including three at the Colfax exit), 15 passenger vehicles (including one that skidded at a rest area entrance), one pickup pulling a trailer, one RV, and one U-Haul trailer.
UPDATE: The Sears at Coral Ridge Mall, on the west end, is now closed and the markings removed.
