I worked in Anacostia back in the early 90’s and hated DC drivers when it snowed. Once I snuck through Rock Creek Park (no traffic and fresh snow) instead of braving the Beltway.
I thought I’d seen every dumb thing you could do in a car in snow in DC. Not even close. Albuquerque is much worse. Now I live in the mountains and anything under a foot is no big deal.
Understand about PA, lived near Erie in the late 70’s.
❄️😂👍. In this instance, I gotta say I’m against ice. 😁
Here in SE VA (Norfolk) I say the roads are full of dehydrated idiots. Just add water. And the degree of their idiocy is inversely proportional to the degree of the water.
Most everything I need is in my hurricane kit. Just going to do the weekly commissary run.
I was in Baltimore/DC area a lot in 2000 and 2001 and I remember that any precipitation (rain) at all slowed traffic to a crawl as if they were driving on ice. Fortunately, I got to miss out on any big snow events the entire time I was in the northeast.
During the ‘70s “pipeline boom” in Alaska, we residents were on high alert at the first snowfall of a winter — defensive driving on steroids. Oil companies were bringing in their people from Texas, and most believed driving on snow and ice was no different from any other conditions. They were wrong. Accidents everywhere.
