Worst pile up I've seen in awhile. Damn winter can suck.

Fuck driving on ice...or snow.

Where was this? Not a hint of salt there and nobody seems to expect ice.

There's pileups in my city every winter. Last year there were like 3 or 4 pileups with 15-20 cars.

maybe it's time they start salting roads when the conditions call for it?

We really need to stop using salt on our roads. Save it for real emergencies.

Throw those beet farmers some business, like they do in Europe. So it looks brown when it's spread out, so what.

I don't think my wife found the Jim Jeffries clip I previously posted particularly funny (there was definitely a look on her face that was open to interpretation), so I will only post the next 'sorta similar' clip here!

There's no infrastructure for that in the South.

A few years back I was vacationing in Hilton Head Island, it got cold and i95 iced over on a bridge there, they just shut down the entire interstate for like two days.

That’s because of that super slippery southern ice…it’s different than ice any place else.

Jokes aside, it actually can get weird in the south. Temperatures that flutter around freezing will leave layers of water that don't fully solidify either between the ice and road or ice and sky, and it can lead to far worse conditions than the typical 'patchy ice with salty slurry' or 'ice covered with packed snow' stuff we get up north.

Also they just don't have salt. Like no road salt, no road salt trucks, they just don't exist.

Also, you sometimes just forget. We don't get those clusterfucks here, but the cold has been so scarce, you don't expect the ice when you should. It'll be fairly warm, but the banks on country roads bleed water, and it freezes in the shadows. Everything will be grand right up to that point, when you're suddenly sideways cause you forgot there's such a thing as ice.

Or bridges. In northern winters, everything's frozen and everything's salted/potentially icy so you forget that bridges can ice over while it's like 37 out.

Nice driving. There's a road up by the north branch of the Potomac where I used to go paddling. At the bottom of a steep grade there was a 90° turn in the road and a stone wall straight ahead. There were a bunch of crosses painted on the wall where trucks lost their brakes and kept going straight.

No idea, might be down south, during a cold snap. That might be a bridge. When the weather is right, cold air and warmer water, then followed by time spent right around the freezing point, crossing bridges can be super sketchy, sometimes full on nightmare. They accumulate that black ice, so thin it's transparent. Instawreck weather for sure. It does not care about your cleated snow tires, I found this out in Maine, twice. Both times crossing bridges on cold sunny mornings. Didn't need much caffeine after that. Surprise 360s = baaad
