219/365 April Storm

Headed home from Wpg today and it was VERY windy on that HWY!
About 5 min north of Regina there was a sign telling us the HWY was closed. Yet it was clear and sunny and except for the very strong wind, it was great driving. So we turned on the radio to find that home had been it with a blizzard and hwys were closed and travel not recommended.
Very hard to believe given the sunny skies.
We kept going and decided to prepare ourselves for a possible over night in a small town.
There were not very many cars on the hwy and the closer we got to home the more semis we saw in the ditch - just blown off the road by the wind. Six in total. That must be a terrifying experience for the driver.
The hwys were not too bad and we settled in behind a semi and let him clear the way for us. Took is slow and easy all the way home and are thankful to be warm and cosy now.

This fellow with the sign was having a really hard time not getting blown backward off the road. There were two huge tow trucks trying to right this semi.
