Had a kid get his degree at an Iowa school. I-35 and I-80 have this stuff all the time and had it back in the 80s and 90s as well. When it really starts coming down in Iowa, give it up, you should not be driving.

I know...and I know that I’m making some assumptions. But last year I was on an icy road like this one in Eastern Washington. Crossed into Idaho, not one bit of ice - difference, salt.
This video is amazing and should be studied by anyone who drives in those conditions - tons can be learned from it.

I'm in S.E. Michigan.....On Christmas eve we get a bad snow storm and I had to go to my niece's house, about 25 miles away. M'59 has 4 lanes eastbound and 4 lanes westbound. Plows weren't out yet so M-59 was all snow covered. My traffic was doing about 25 MPH. After a quarter mile down 59, the eastbound side had a half dozen spin outs with numerous police cars on site. Traffic was at a total stand still and backed up as far as you could see.
I got about 3 miles down the highway when I called it quits and got off the freeway and headed home via surface streets........
Having spent a lifetime of winters here in Michigan, I'm smart enough to know when to drive 25 or stay off the roads.......
