That's just RIDICULOUS! There's not even any snow on some parts of the road. I mean, c'mon...

  • The government did NOTHING to prepare aside from sending what little equipment they had south...
  • After the roads were gridlocked they tried to bring sand and rock spreaders out, but they couldnt get through traffic...
  • A population of 1million plus all leaving work within 30 minutes of each other
  • 3 main roads to get a majority of the said 1 million out of town.... hell the all three combine into 1 road in the heart of the city (400, 85, 75)


Personally I knew what was coming and have been working from home since Monday given my RWD car with summer tires and no snow experience.
I still have summer tires on my car, and they are balding. Yes, I will change them soon. But I've driven in 12 ft of snow with these tires. I understand some don't have the experience, but to see a multi car crash like in the vid GA posted, with that little snow is just ridiculous.
