Some unfortunate employees camped out overnight inside their cars on I-285 while others were stranded in parking lots because they drove to work into a snowstorm with no fuel in their vehicle's gas tanks.
Everyone trapped was wearing office attire.
It's not the dearth of government salt/sand trucks that's the problem here, Laz.
No, not necessarily the snow. It's what the snow became.... ice. The ice made travelling nearly impossible.
coming from Central Manitoba, Canada. Ice is terrible. But.............I live north of that, and I commute everyday 45 miles one way. I always carry a snowsuit, candles, food, heat blankets, quilts etc. We get black ice in late fall and spring. Fog, snow squals, you name it.
You must be prepared for anything. And learn how to drive really really slow (because here you are more likely to get rammed from behind stopping when you can’t see, because a lot of people here are born with xray vision apparently)
