50-Vehicle Snow Ballet Shuts Down Interstate 75, Featuring Semitrucks
KEY POINTS
- •On December 29, 2025, an intensifying winter storm brought bomb cyclone chaos across Eastern U.S. cities including Boston and Philly.
- •Detroit saw a massive 50-vehicle pile-up on Interstate 75 delaying traffic for hours amid heavy snow squalls.
- •Almost 9,000 U.S. flights were delayed and 1,500 canceled due to Arctic air sweeping the Eastern Seaboard.
Brace yourselves: a bomb cyclone and an Arctic airmass teamed up like Voldermort and Voldy’s even colder sibling to drop a 'messy mix' of rain, sleet, and freezing rain from the Northeast to New England. On December 29, 2025, Boston, Philly, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, NYC, D.C., and Detroit were all tagged for weather misery, with Detroit showcasing an epic 50-vehicle pile-up starring semitrucks on I-75 that shut down traffic for hours. 9,000 flights delayed, 1,500 canceled — airlines probably wishing they could mount a clipper to fly the Arctic blast away. Meanwhile, New York’s Governor Hochul warned against travel in Western and Central NY because Syracuse’s lake-effect snow was set for 'whiteout' glory with 70 mph gusts recorded in Buffalo. Forecasts promised 1-2 extra feet of snow through Wednesday and freeze warnings stretching as far south as the Gulf Coast, ensuring your tropical vacation plans need a serious rebrand.
