      Crews are working to remove stopped trucks, plow snow, de-ice the roadway and guide the hundreds of motorists stranded on I-95 to the nearest exits, Virginia officials say. Gov. Ralph Northam couldn’t say when the situation would be resolved.http://apne.ws/Wa6ThVm

      Meera Rao was stuck for nearly 16 hours just 100 feet past an exit on I-95 in Virginia, after snarled traffic and heavy snow combined to strand hundreds of motorists. She and her husband turned off their car's engine frequently to save gas. ​http://apne.ws/3sL4IjU

          It's a good idea to bring a bag of salt, comforter,snack food and drinks. There are probably more things to bring. C'mon they knew snow was in the forcast.

          Cases where an entire interstate is shut down and at a complete standstill for 16 hours is so insanely rare that you wouldn't expect this. People are running out of gas trying to keep their cars on to keep them warm.

          How much gas does an idle car use? I thought it was about 0.15 gallons per hour.
