New Yorkers don’t drive in ice.

Agree about the ice. Most dangerous up north is when you get a big, it gets packed on the roads. It melts a bit in the day, and turns to ice overnight.

Also, those signs up north that say "bridge freezes before road" are correct. The bridge may have ice when regular roads have snow. drive at a moderate to slow speed, DO NOT change lanes, and if you must steer or brake, do so gently. If you start spinning on the ice steer in the direction of the spin.

Drivers in the South do not do this. They think the car is immune to ice and weather conditions. So I stay home

My cousin from NJ last week slid into a wall on the NYS Thruway. Said at the tow place, they had so many cars from that day she’d be waiting a long time. She’s lucky to have survived it

Said her nephews told her to not travel that day. What they knew instinctively, without knowing how to tell her, was that precipitation plus cold roads was bad mix. The roads have been cold for a month now. That’s January no way around it. It had been raining cold rain all night. When she went out early afternoon the air was warm roads still icy.

Black ice is ice. There is no traction on a regular car that is going to negotiate that. It belongs in the garage or in the driveway. In park.
