The line stretched for miles early Wednesday morning, semi-truck after semi-truck parked on the side of I-80 and roadside lots waiting for the vital traffic artery between Northern California and Nevada to reopen.
The brunt of a fierce winter storm front began moving eastward early Wednesday, but as it exited it left behind as much as 4 feet of new snow, towering snow drifts, fallen trees and the sub-zero temperatures added a layer of ice to roadway.
Caltrans crews worked all night trying to clear the highway enough to allow it to be reopened. But the flashing sign at Applegate still read I-80 Closed. "What do I do? Sit here," he said."There's nothing else you can do. Just sit, wait.""I have a buddy who's been waiting out there since Friday, he's been sitting there on the I-80, waiting for it to go by," Marquez said.
"I think it stinks," he said."It stinks all over California. I was just down in San Diego for a week and it took four days to get back here out of Southern California. It's been nonstop."
