    This thread or the other, they are not wearing masks, which makes them a threat to our entire society.

    That looks like a nightmare for someone...

    But...

    If I stopped every time it snowed more than an inch... I may aswell stay home frome November through April.

    Crap weather like that means I avoid routes that have higher traffic levels and run more US and/or State highways. I go much slower, and I inform everyone involved that there may or may not be delays due to said weather.

    People really need to learn how to drive SAFELY in poor weather conditions... It can be, and is, done all over the northern hemisphere each and every winter.

    The red ELC does make crash scenes in the snow look gory.

    I wonder how many of those trucks had a CB?
    What did the lead truck hit? That flatbed in the ditch??

    Is this the new normal? It snows and we have trucks everywhere?, in ditches, slammed into one another, you name it. How many of these videos does one need to see before it sinks in?
