First snowstorm and accidents

I got on the freeway with all three kids in the truck trying to get my eldest to drama practice. We have had the first snowstorm of Winter here in Utah and it got bad very quickly. The freeway has not been cleared so the speed was down, then about 1/2 mile from Spanish Fork the freeway stopped. I had enough room to slow down so we were okay, but to my left was an older '80s pickup with a trailer that jacknifed and went by us sliding sideways. As we inched by trying for the Spanish Fork exist there were at least a dozen cars off the road that had been in accidents an spun out and were off the road. The emergency response vehicles had not even arrived yet, but people had stopped to try and help out. Thankfully we made the decision to not continue to drama practice. It just wasn't worth it to chance getting into an accident, so we turned around and went back home. Hopefully it'll clear up before we go to church tomorrow morning.
