Video of the pileup as it happened
All my life northerners told me that they're experts at driving in snow. LOL
Driving too fast for conditions.
Virtually everyone.
Just stupid.
I just talked to someone who came back from Philadelphia and he said on the weekend he got hit by a brief pocket of heavy son.
They can’t see or predict a snow squall within two hours but they can predict man-made climate disruption 10 years from now? That’s what they call science.
Weather guessers
A friend’s husband was stuck in that mess, yesterday. He’s OK and so is his car. He said it looked like a 9/11 Disaster Site as he and others were ushered through by the State Patrol.
When I HAVE to drive into Madison, I’m always wary of one spot on the highway. It is rather low, marshland on either side. One morning three winters ago during the regular morning commute, fog suddenly filled the highway and they had a huge pile up like that when people were all blinded going into it. One woman died; many, many crunched cars.
Stay safe out there, People!
Terrible! We did get the warnings here, and a small squall went thru’ a bit later — from sunny skies and a little wind to whiteout conditions within a minute or so — then back to sunny (but very cold).
I’ve only driven in a squall one time/ Luckily it was a typical suburban shopping street that I was fairly familiar with and there were not many cars around at the time. I turned a corner and saw a few flakes falling and suddenly it was difficult to see even a few feet ahead with swirling snow everywhere. Wipers were useless. I slowed down to a crawl and when I spotted an open curb to a parking lot area, turned in there to wait it out. Only took a few minutes to pass but it was wicked!
Been there. Earlier this winter when it was an otherwise balmy day until I reached Minersville where this happened. Some snow flurries — and then I turned onto 81S and couldn’t see a thing. I mean visibility nothing, worse than what they show on the dash cam video of yesterday’s pileup. They say it’s the peculiar area by that mountain. Ten miles south,I was back in gentle snow flurries.
The locals do tend to drive like demons but ordinarily there’s no traffic to complain about in that area. This morning they’re saying 5 people died. One vehicle caused an explosion and fireball, and some disabled vehicles were hit repeatedly.
Rot roh.
Maybe 15 years ago there was pile up due to a winter storm on I-78 around Valentines Day. I think Corbutt (Rino) was governor at the time. The Democrats and media savaged him and PennDot was turned upside down. That was another situation that wasn't really avoidable, but that doesn't stop leftists from making it a political issue. I think it is karma time. Tom Wolf (Commie) should be savaged, abused and ridiculed. He should already be rotting in prison for the rest of his life for the thousands of seniors he killed in nursing homes (along with Richard Levine). Wolf, Democrats and trannies are mass murderers either through active policies, or through neglect and mismanagement as in the case of this pileup. Heads should roll and needles injected in arms to insure this never happens again. (I really don't believe that they could do anything, but if we can use a little Alinsky against, why not?)

Here’s the video I saw, dash cam. It happened very fast and shows one person trying to dive out of the way as the car comes in.
