Went from +10 celcius one day last week to a balmy -36 today with a windchill. We had a good storm come through the area yesterday. I drove 8 hrs round trip yesterday through blinding whiteout conditions to head back to Geraldton to do some work on my rental house. On our way back last night, we were stuck behind a transport for 70 kms doing about 60 km per hr. The highway was bad. One section was closed for a few hours due to a 10 vehicle pile up. At one point, there was roughly 6 inches of snow on the highway. Plow trucks couldn't keep up with the drifting. I wasn't sure we'd make it back last night. I was driving along and came upon a strange accident. A big heavy duty tow truck nosed in the ditch on one side of the hwy. On the other side fully into the ditch was a plow/sand truck. Not a good sign. We made it back at 10:30pm last night.
