I drove through that area earlier Sunday, it was on and off, white out conditions, I still have a hard time believing the way people drive in that kind of weather! What is so important you would risk dying for?
Idiots with their indestructible SUV's paying more attention to their phones. Last winter I went through an area that was getting hit by a storm, trying to get to a fuel stop and the weather radio blaring warnings for people not to drive unless necessary. People were basically flying around me to get to a shopping detrict exit as if they were on dry pavement.
