The HMMWV's got along I-78 by travelling in the westbound lanes which were mostly cleared.

I'm not surprised it got closed, as I travel that highway many times a month and it's awful (I-81).

Ahhhh, I understand. it's frustrating to be sitting there when you have a vehicle that should get you out of trouble when needed.
