00:00 I'm meteorologist Tony Law back in Winterset, Iowa. It has been a dangerous drive on I-80,

00:05 really across the western half of the state from Council Bluffs all the way to Des Moines.

00:09 My drive out here, I have just seen wreck after wreck, semi truck after semi truck flipped over

00:14 on their sides, jackknifed, cars that are stuck in the meaty and multi-car accidents along the way.

00:20 It has just been a dangerous drive. You hear the wind blowing behind me, that blowing snow

00:25 creating the dangerous travel conditions, really keeping the roads fairly ice despite the crews

00:30 doing their best to really keep things clear. But it has been a

00:33 horrible drive for folks and that's going to continue to be the case well into the evening.
