It wasn't them parked; they were just flat unable to get enough traction
w/ all the axles to push the snow out of the way; they were completely
helpless to even start, so stopping wasn't the issue.

Never seen anything quite like that on this side of the state. Trucks
may have been empty? a lot of steel went towards Detroit back then with
little if anything on the back haul. A lot of the 11 axles back then
were steel haulers. I remember the city workers over there on strike a
few times, it didn't take much of storm to shut things down. Wasn't
enough white-collar's to replace striking blue-collars Kind of doubt
you happened upon a strike though...
