Those borderline rain/sleet/snow conditions are the worst.

Dumb.

Southerners have a good excuse, we don’t.

Here is a photo from what happened this morning. As you can see, there were guardrails along each shoulder and nowhere for them to go but smash into the car in front of them. Because 4-wheel drive or not, you are not going to stop in time if you are driving at highway speeds and suddenly see a wreck in front of you.

I've driving I-93 many times (from Boston area up into NH) and that can be a dangerous highway even in good weather. Especially when you get into New Hampshire. It's mostly just two lanes in each direction and there can be many miles between exits and people just drive too damn fast.

I was involved in a chain-accident like this many years ago during a snow squall and it's quite a scary experience. Fortunately I was able to drive off the shoulder and avoid a collision but it was almost two hours before the traffic started moving again.

I wonder how many were going 70 in the snow before the crash.

I thought everybody in the North invented snow and sleet.

Why would they also prove to be such crappy drivers when it happens?

[Slambat]

But I though those northeastern communist block liberals
were such great drivers for all the experience driving in
these conditions. Of course these are the same people that
fall over dead from heat exhaustion when the temp hits 100.
The same people who are devastated from a moderate tropical
storm. The same people who will blame this weather on
global waring.

This is what I would expect when this type of weather hits
places like Texas, that I would understand.
