BAD WEATHER 2-28-25 THRU THE END OF THE WEEK on Feb 17, 2025 at 4:02:42 pm [Print]

---

AVOID travel thru MO, KS, OK and into TX this week, starting overnight early Tuesday morning. The region expects widespread ICE, and then HEAVY SNOW especially in the areas of NE OK and into MO. This may extend into Illinois and into TX. Bad road conditions and dangerous temperatures will remain on Wed and Thurs, perhaps into Friday.

Temps and wind chills will be at record, dangerous lows.

Even if you have a 4 wheel drive SUV, its np guarantee you won't get stuck behind accidents, etc.

Check the latest forecasts and road conditions, and change/cancel plans to drive 66 this week. NEXT week will be in the 60 degree range!

McJerry's Route 66 Gallery will be CLOSED during this week of bad weather. Its too $$$ to heat the gallery, and I don't want visitors slipping on ice!

The CA 66 association is asking for tourists to support the Route 66 businesses in the LA to San Bernardino rggion again after the recent fires. Areas north of Pasadena, and near Santa Monica (Including Malibu) were destroyed, and remain "out of bounds" for tourism. but most of the rest of the area, including the Santa Monica Pier, is OK. Be advised there may be issues with some hotels due to refugess, but rooms are reportedly available.

Starting on Dec 2 2024, the interchange of 4-lane OK hwy 66 (the last version of 66) and I-44 will be changed. A new overpass and right-hand exit from 44 to EastBound 4-lane OK 66 will replace the current Left hand exit. Also, traffic entering I-44 from 193rd Ave (original 66) will be able to join 4-lane OK 66 eastbound.
This will not directly affect users of the EZ 66 who should be following the original 66 via Cherokee and 193rd. But expect traffic in the Catoosa area to be affected during this reconstruction, which will last into 2026.

UPDATE 1: Construction of a new WB ON/OFFRAMP for I-44 has temporarily closed access to the east end of the TANK FARM LOOP OPTION (OK page-15)

UPDATE 2: The SHOE TREE LOOP east of STROUD is closed on its west end. The former Trading Post at the east end is gone. Don't take this now private driveway. The "new" shoe tree is nothing to look at really, so just forget this site.
