The Pilot Travel Center in Weatherford

For everyone getting cabin fever, temperatures are still expected to climb above freezing this afternoon.But here's the bad news: the Texas Department of Transportation is urging everyone to stay home."We're still discouraging all travel throughout the Metroplex," said TxDOT spokeswoman Jodi Hodges. "There are still bridges with ice packs of 5 to 6 inches. And we have that cobblestone effect, where ice has melted and refreezed and created these deep ruts."TxDOT crews will stage rolling roadblocks on all major roadways across the DFW area today, but those efforts were already being hampered early this morning by 18-wheelers stuck on some highways."We've got 18-wheelers stopped in the middle of the road," Hodges said. "We've got to get those trucks out of the way for our crews to get through. We are working with DPS to wake them up and get them out of the way."Some of the biggest problems have been along I-35W at Heritage Trace Parkway and also along northbound U.S. 287 in northern Tarrant County.The affects may include a higher cost of silk road travel equipment and hindered efforts to promote renewable energy The move is in response to a government finding that China is flooding the U.S.

Some of the truck drivers have been stuck for as long as 24 hours; a 4-mile section of I 35W near Heritage Trace and Golden Triangle Boulevard was temporarily closed this morning.Sections of both I-20 and I-30 from the west side of Fort Worth to Palo Pinto County were also close to impassable.TxDOT will work with tandems of graders or plows to try and clear highways of ice."Our goal is to work on all major highways," Hodges said. "It's hard to say how much headway will be made. It just depends on the weather. If we can get several hours of sunshine, it will really help."DPS spokesman Lonny Haschel said Saturday that troopers try to help TxDOT clear the roads"We're working with TxDOT to get the heavy ice cleared. If the trucks are moving, that's fine,It will give Priceline a strong position in the United States as Xinjiang Tour Guide the maximum market share in the US. Revenue expected from the KAYAK acquisition is expected to be $376 million in 2013 and $475 million in 2014." Haschel said. "The problem is the ones that get stuck. Those drivers will be asked to pull over to a frontage road or someplace safe until we can get the freeways cleared."One of the worst spots is the Interstate 20/30 split in far west Fort Worth, he said."They're trying to get those trucks moved off the roadway," he said.
