That isn't the only place that is having car pileups. Wisconsin had a really bad one we saw on TV today too. Last weekend when a winter storm blanketed parts of the Midwest and Northeast with up to a foot of snow, this caused a 59 vehicle pileup and at least four traffic fatalities.
In New Hampshire, three buses and two tractor-trailer rigs were among the 59 vehicles that crashed on snowy Interstate 93, sending a dozen people to hospitals Sunday morning. This temporarily shut down a stretch of the highway's northbound lanes. None of the injuries were life threatening, but it took emergency crews about an hour to remove one man from a car wedged under the back of a tractor trailer.
Here in Iowa part of I35 was shutdown on Monday and black ice was north of Des Moines. They had to pull the tow trucks and snow plows off the roads, it was so bad. Now it is -16 and -30 wind chill and going to get much colder yet tonight. Isn't winter fun? NOT!

Wisconsin Dragnet Ends with Man's Arrest
A gunman was arrested Friday after he came out from some woods near the scene where three teenagers were slain and a fourth person was wounded. He was suspected of opening fire on a group of young swimmers gathered along a riverbank. Scott J. Johnson, age 38, was dressed in camouflage when deputies caught up with him. They hunted for him all night. As officers approached, he dropped his assault rifle. Nine young adults had gathered at a railroad bridge to go swimming in the Menominee river when the gunman appeared Thursday afternoon and opened fire. He must have been a little wacky.
