Reports of Hundreds of Cars Stranded North of Redding on I-5

Update: Northbound I-5 is open all the way through the Oregon border. No chains required at this time. I-5 Northbound is still closed at the Fawndale exit 10 miles north of Redding. Reports of 60-200 vehicles are stuck on I-5 northbound between Castella and Dunsmuir, due to a jackknifed big rig and other disabled vehicles in the roadway. These vehicles need to be moved out of the way before the snow plows are able to clear the highway. As of 10:30am things are not looking good. I-5 SB at Ashland: OPEN. Chains required for all vehicles except 4x4s, unless towing. Expect slow traffic & congestion until the back-up clears. Expect winter driving conditions. First photo is of the current gridlock on I-5 20 miles south of Weed. Via @slyon33
