This happened near were I live.

Thankfully no was hurt to bad.

Cars all over the place, jack-knifed trucks.

A real mess.

Road was closed for hours.

Just got home after a nearly 2-hour commute. Despite it being only 6-8 inches, this was probably the worse snowstorm to hit the area this year due to the fact that the timing was so bad and nobody predicted it so the roads weren't treated like they usually are before a storm. We had a 27-inch storm a couple of weeks ago and I don't remember the driving being quite as bad. People were sliding off the roads everywhere.

Sounds Cirrus!

(I know but Sounds Cumulonimbus just didn't work)

a 100 car pile up and no one was killed? WOW.

Thanks! I appreciate reminders of why real estate is so expensive here in San Diego. (Luckily I own some.)

I just got home from driving my son to work in southern NH and a car spun out in front of me a few times as I slammed on my brakes hoping not to hit the spinning car. I missed a crash by inches. Thank God for anti-lock brakes!

I can attest to the severity of this surprise storm. The driving was so bad because for some reason the snow was more, well, slippery than it usually is. I guess the temperature and water content was different.

I read about the pile-up story on thebostonchannel.com, and they reported it as 3 separate major accidents that involved nearly 100 cars total, not one huge pile-up. I don't have time to look it up and post the link, though.

I am normally a big fan of Winter, but now I am starting to feel jerked around by it.

I hit a snow squal like this back in January. Visibility went from excellent to about 10-15 ft (you could see hazard flashers on cars in front of you about that far) in a matter of seconds. Luckily the traffic was not too heavy or moving too fast, due to some snow that had fallen earlier, and it didn't result in collisions, at least not in front of me. My biggest concern was that I didn't know for how long it would stay like this.

Wow, that is where I used to live. I hope no one was hurt.

I was on the way to the Y this morning when the Boston radio station mentioned "this snowy day". It was cloudy, but I didn't think we were supposed to get any snow. Twenty mins. later I'm in the pool doing water aerobics, and look out the windows to an absolute white-out! When I came out, 45 mins. later, there was almost an inch of snow on the ground. I decided not to do my errands and went straight home instead.

When I got home, I heard about the pile-up. I'm glad the injuries were few and minor. As of 6 this evening, we had over 4" of snow. AACKK I'm sick of this stuff, though I must admit, it sure looks pretty coming down.

I live in Dudley (30 minutes south of Worcester), and I got into a minor accident of my own today in my rear-wheel drive, 15 year old Volvo. I cracked the headlight on a guardrail, but fortunately, I didn't break the bulb. My car's a tank!

ROFLMAO!

Hey! Aren't these the same folks who like to laugh at the way southerners handle driving in the snow? heh heh....

Well, at least we didn't cart out 1100 dead people like they did in NORTHERN cities during the last HEAT WAVE!
