It hasn’t snowed in Raleigh like that ever since that day . ):
I know
Facts
That one time was enough to last us for a while lol.
snow in the Research Triangle after 2014: 🏃🏃🏃
Hasn’t snowed in Fresno, Ca since 1998
I love how that dog is standing there, watching the chaos unfold

Ich würde gerne wissen, was der Hund über die Zweibeiner denkt....
The dog was the only one with brains !
The dog has 4 wheel drive.........lol
Add what’s funny....about the comment..../of......them “dumb animals “.................is it? Or are we really we just the dumb people and don’t want to amid it?
Ah....here we go with all the keyboard warriors telling people what they are doing wrong and why they are stuck when they themselves would be the first ones not having a clue out there
2WD pickup truck with summer tires, not going to work well in the snow!
Kyle Blank There are no snow tires in Raleigh. One or two snows a year, melts in a day or so.
who needs snow tires?? i have never had them/used them. give me a car/truck with no traction control and clutch .....snows not a problem
The day when what would normally be a 15-20 minute trip took over 4 hours...
"My car is better than everyone else , surely I can make it up this hill where other cars have crashed "
Really
Basically at this point, your car is just a 2,000 lb sled. Doesn't matter if you drive a truck or have 4-wheel drive.

People pick on how people on the south drive in "snow" but mind you NC snow is accompanied more by slush and ice PLUS I've seen several videos of people from the north and Russia driving just as bad. Our roads also don't get salted and scraped as much or as well as they do in places that get snow on a regular basis. Lived my whole life in NC. 2018 was a rough winter- 11 inches of snow with an 1 or 2 of ice (Greensboro) and i was amazed when i moved to ohio and saw how smoothly everything runs up here when its snowing
Just remind them at least we have manners down here. 😆
i love the idea of walking around on the road... especially when these 5 thousand pound cars are going down the road unable to turn lol
Yep, very careless folks.
Darwin award : (
One thing guys, only keep your tires straight if hitting the curb. If youturn them at al you will damage or ruin your elignment components.
agreed. I was sliding at 5mph and turned the wheel and messed up my suspension bad
We are not used to driving in winter weather here in NC
It's actually really simple. Drive very slowly, turn very slowly, avoid hills at all costs, and gently hit the gas pedal. When coming down an icy hill, shift into a lower gear (automatic or manual transmission) so the engine slows you down. Then all you do is press the brake gently and let the engine do all the work.
sreilly Exactly. Morons tell people to put it in neutral and guess what..they start sliding
Danielle Smarr Put on snow tires! Huge difference.
Neutral is better than Drive, downshifting is better than both if you don't let the wheels lock up.
Chuck Buy tires for the once or twice a year it snows, when everything is shut down anyhow? Hardly.
It snows only a few times a year here. Most natives stay home, make a nice pot of soup, play with the kids and wait as it usually melts in 1-2 days. Most people out and about are transplants here and not used to the ice that always accompanies Southern snows. The transplants gripe becasue the road clearing equipment is limited but like the low tax base which has to go up to buy snow equipment that sits idle 360 days of the year. Your condescending comments are noted but I assure you as a native you are talking about your own kind.
+Fred Flintstone Soup? They make french toast. You know, go buy out all the eggs, bread and milk when a skiff of snow is forecasted.

My husband-to-be moved from central Texas to north-eastern Washington state, driving a 2WD GMC pickup. I asked him if he was planning on replacing his truck with a 4-wheel drive, and he said he'd never seen enough snow here to need one. Up to that point we'd get 2 or 4 inches at a time, then it would warm up and melt away, for a couple of winters in a row. Luckily, he had bought that 4WD when we got 18 inches of snow in a couple of days. Unluckily for him, he had driven my Subaru to the airport for a fast business trip to Seattle. Spent the night at SEA-TAC because the plows here at the airport couldn't clear the snow off the runways fast enough to let a plane land safely. By the time he got back to our airport, the car was completely buried, with the shovel in the back of the car.
That was quite a lot of alloy wheels broken
multiple winners here for the "I was too stupid to stay in the house" award. Even the dog is looking around like "you dumbass humans"
When your physics teacher says there is no any coefficient of friction in this problem
I live in Raleigh. The people from up North laugh until they experience “ our snow”. It’s not normal 😁. I have no idea why it’s different. 😁
hey fellow Raleigh local. It's not dry snow, it's falling slush. It's almost as slippery as ice the moment it hits the ground. When snow is dry, it's almost gritty in nature and tires can grab it. Not slush...
It isn't different. I lived here and there.
There's that and people suck at driving there like badly maybe because its a college city I guess?
And I thought New York City was the worst
I live in PA and this is funny to me. No one buys 2WD pickup trucks here unless it’s for racing. But it’s funny how people don’t take precautions when it snows in places that rarely see snow.
The dog had enough sense not to drive.
He was thinking about it though 😂
1:40 needs bigger rims
Absolutely useless tire / rim combination for snow. Actually pretty useless for a truck in any weather. Good for posing though.
i was being sarcastic
Alin Gheaja .......I know.
As a Minnesota native, I find this hilarious.
Great video! Lots of problems here, but all understandable. North Carolina doesn't get enough snow to justify having sufficient snow removal/salting equipment. The drivers and cars aren't prepared for snow because snow rarely occurs here. It all equals one big occasional mess. The best advice for folks in this situation: stay at work or school for 24 hours after it snows while finding a northerner near you to take you home.
I was going to say has anybody herd of winter tires but I live in Manitoba that's why I would have said that
Who needs to go out for entertainment when you can just go on the front porch for free entertainment.
I like how the 4wd 4 runner had it in 2wd Lol
dang gummit, Toyota made 4WD 4Runners.
zero to 60 in 6 seconds your right my bad ..
dang gummit some four runners are 2wheel peel
not all 4 runners have 4wd
@@Crap783851 Then they should be called 2Runners...
I remember this snow like it was yesterday..but it was ice packed too which is why it was so slick
Rules of driving on snow:
Do you have winter tires? If not, you're going to get stuck. Do you have AWD? Doesn't matter if you do.
Lol my 4x4 gets around just fine on ATs
@@thedude5472 Until you have to turn or brake. LOL
This is a compilation of southern drivers who have never lived in an area with snow.
Lol its Raleigh, barely half of the population are actually from North Carolina.
Low profiles on a pickup truck... i will never get that
Yeah they are stupid aren't they.
Yeah I agree
Even dumber are the low profile tires and the front end sticking up in the air.
this was the worse and i had winter tires on my car and still slid into ice. had to zebulon from new bern ave in order to get to work because the walk home was more dangerous than the longer walk to work. what i didn't understand is, it was snowing on tuesday morning and nothing was really done to the roads, then wednesday came and there was still nothing on the roads. this happeens everytime it snows in nc, you knew the snow was coming and yet nothing is ever done until the last minute.
This is a good example of why people shouldn't drive cars on icy roads.
Beautiful Dog !!
For all of you asking why no snow tires? It's because Central and Eastern North Carolina rarely sees snow so it's not worth purchasing and honestly I don't even know if snow tires are available here. Also since this state doesn't get a lot of snow we don't have a huge budget for road maintenance so the only thing that can be done is brine the roads. Well if it rains before the snow and most of our snow storms begins with rain then that brine is washed away. And for everyone screaming we just should've stayed home obviously has never had a job in retail. As a store manager for a big box retailer we're expected to be at work regardless and no we can't stay at our jobs overnight if the roads are too bad. Please don't judge unless you understand our circumstances. You guys act like snow is something we get often but I assure you it is not!
Looks like Maywood Avenue. I used to live down the street.
Ice, when 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive become 2 wheel drive very quickly!
Is it the humidity that makes the snow there extra slippery?
Jeep wrangler and chains... and chains...Piece of cake...
How many cars suck in the road before you decide you can't make it up or down the hill 100 ?
Your brakes can be your worst enemy, going down a hill and trying to turn with the brakes fully engaged don't work, let off the brakes for a second and it will turn then balance braking and steering and hope nobody is in your way.
gear down when going down hill helps rather than locking up brakes
"I know how to drive. "Don't need chains."
pigjubby1 Nobody HAS chains in Raleigh!
Just snow tires and a brain is all you need.
It's funny watching people who don't know that snowy roads are slippery...
Why are they trying to go uphill?🤔
Glad I live little lower than Raleigh
tires are everything on snow and ice your brakes are your worst enemy !
Steve Mclain No snow tires here. It snows once or twice a year, usually in February. That's it.
Not a single person with 4wd 😂
TIRES, TIRES, TIRES!
Studded snows are YOUR FRIEND in any part of the world where slippery conditions exist!
Even at the bare minimum a decent set of snow tires!
Best ice road I have seen.
And 1 thing I noticed with ALL of the cars: no snow tires. I hope everyone realizes that a few hundred bucks for some tires and steelies will help you more than you can imagine
Snow tires are a great help in snow, but on dry or just wet roads they aren't nearly as good as all season tires, and we get very little snow in Raleigh.
@@JeffDeWitt I bet snow tires work a lot better on dry pavement, than summer tires do in snow.
@@sharpuslf Perhaps, but that's why most people use all season tires.
Lol, I drove by there like 2 or 3 years ago when it snowed and I could not get up the dang hill. Luckily a nice person helped me maneuver and get me to the top of the hill so I could be on my way.
Here's a helpful hint when you lock up all four tires by braking with pedal your not going to be able to steer if you use your emergency brake you will be able to steer you vehicle ! You won't stop any quicker in snow or ice with all 4 wheels locked an sliding than if you have 2 wheels sliding at least you can steer by having your front rolling !
2 words from a man in south-east Kentucky: SNOW TIRES!! Real ones, not the "all season" tires
Donnie Gray Does All Terrain count?
CROCKPOT way better than all season tires
@MrRiggyRiggs Bullshit! As a guy that uses snow tires EVERY winter I can tell you from experience, they work good.
@MrRiggyRiggs
Really?.... are you sure about that?
And especially the one we have in Sweden: Nordic winter tires. We all have to have them during winter.
Did anyone think to stop the cars at the top and bottom of the hill!
he sprayed the road with his hose so he could make this sweet video lol
I would if I lived there.....
If your sliding and your car won't turn LET GO OF BRAKE.. Tap the brakes as you go down hill
Why do people even attempt to drive in such conditions without the proper tires?
So I am NOT passing judgment...cuz I live in a city with no snow, but I'm just wondering why people try to drive in this...I get the fact that most of the time it is a necessity like work, picking up essentials...but I'd rather stay home than risk a crash...
Plain and simple: ego.
They seem to think they have something to prove to the world.
0:57 me
I remember this one! I was working at da Sheraton hotel Downtown Raleigh North Carolina. Everyone was scared. Not me because I'm from Bronx NY get way more snow.
That's what I am saying
Are snow tire chains illegal is some states ? Ore do people just like to slide and run into things?
Yes, because they damage the roads. Chains ARE legal in North Carolina "... that it shall be permissible to use tire chains of reasonable proportions upon any vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice or other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to slide or skid. "
Several buckets of sand poured on the roud will help those poor people. And spikes on your tyres.
2:32 one-wheel drive
Open dif
I will say, as someone who moved to NC from up North, the snow is worse down here. It's not as frequent, but it's always a wet, slippery, snow that is pretty difficult to drive in. Then, couple that with unfamiliar drivers, and you've got some interesting footage.
I had just moved to Raleigh from Iowa and was out in this in my rear wheel drive cadillac. Peice of cake. Got home just fine. The only thing about living in Iowa that paid off was knowing how to drive in this stuff. 🙂
SERIOUSLY what the.....
Is wrong with ALL these people???
I honestly want to live on that street for this reason
Not a single one with their headlights on, either. SMH
Right, because having your headlights on helps you driver better in the snow in the SOUTH. SMH indeed...
humphrey28092 It helps you be noticed, so you are less likely to get hit. Headlights are required by law in rain and any time you turn on wipers.
@@kathyyoung1774 Thats not entirely accurate. In some areas, that might be law, but not even close to being nationwide.
Juilsa, I am not going on. the only one of my favorite. I will be able to make sure you have a great day time. it was a good day to the new York, and the other side of things to do with my family. the first to the help
Must never snow there, people have no idea how to handle snow.
spiffcats Only 1 or 2 times a year
Dogs like I'm staying here to many crazy humons
Karı görüyorsun yada kar yağacağını duydun.Ne diye arabayı çıkartıyorsunuz?
You think maybe they should stop trying to go up and down the hill.
After all that failed ..... that's obvious right.
You can tell nobody here drives in the snow very often. No snow tires and a bunch of 2wd vehicles.
iowntissuehair That's because it snows only once or twice a year and melts in a day or so. There are no snow tires. What do you expect?
Qualcuno conosce l'uso delle catene antineve dalle vostre parti?? Oppure vi piace distruggere la macchina in quel modo?
1:08 THERE GOES MY ALIGNMENT BOYS
I don't get it why these guys doesn't have traction? Are snow tires optional where this was filmed?
Simonas Semaška snow tires are not required anywhere in the states im pretty sure
All these people pressing their brakes and locking up their wheels could probably steer if they let off the brake. If the car starts to slide, then let off the brake a bit to let the front wheels turn so you can steer.
Yes! Finally someone gets it! Thank you. :-)
And, use a car with ABS! You can't buy a new car in Sweden without it, and ESP is also regulated by law so all new cars must have it. My first car from 1996 had ABS as standard. That is 22 years ago!
Xanthopteryx This isn't Sweden. Raleigh gets a little snow once or twice a year, often not enough for the kids to go sledding. That storm was extremely unusual.
My ultra lightweight Daihatsu Cuore would have made it to the top with no fuss on wintertyres. Due to its low weight, long wheelbase and small tyres it goes extremely well in the snow.
Michiel M lol. Shut up nerd
@Gary R en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire Read the first line. Tyre is correct. Tire is correct.
@Gary R So, yes, as i said: Tyres are correct. Tires are correct. Or what was your point?
@Gary R The origin of tire/tyre is somewhat unclear, to begin with. And second, both forms has been around since 15-16th century so the form tyre is VERY old. And just because something is not known in the US doesn't mean that it's non existing. You know, there is a world outside the US, and TH-cam is part of that multinational multilingual world. I love language and language history and why words are spoken and written in a certain way, and when you dig deeper you will find out that a LOT of all the words you use has been changed over time regarding spelling and meaning. BTW, as an example, the word reflection: If you look at the etymology, it should be spelled reflexion. So you are spelling it wrong if you spell it reflection...
Gary R Somebody in the U.K. telling NC residents what to do.
I'll never understand why people don't understand simple physics, god damn this makes me wanna cry
it reminds me of Atlanta
if u just do a burnout it will heat up the ice and melt it
Oh yes the usf trucks that drive all around raliegh!
@flashpitt A fellow Yinzer checking in. I love your photography in and around Pittsburgh. I just saw your twitter feed was added to PittsburghSkyline.com, which is how I found this video. It seems like some of the driving in the video could be considered reckless considering the conditions. Living in that area now, do you think it's attributed to a lack of experience with those kinds of conditions?
That Toyota pu peg legged it up the hill
Have you guys heard of chains?
chuck norris don´t need chains
I live here in the upstate South Carolina and I don't need chains... I have a 06 Saturn ion 4dr it's all about skills.. we get way more than them
As a person who lives in North Dakota you don't need chains on that s*** that's not even that Icy. these guys just don't know how to drive on it!
Have you ever heard of state laws? Some states don't allow chains.
Heard of them, but they are ILLEGAL.
Michelin x-ice snow tires would definitely get you up the hill I've driven all kinds of winter weather they are by far superior
I got my Nokian hakkapeliitta 7 studded 2 years ago and I would never choose anything else.
@@olivierdagenais2559 thank you I will get them
@@terrywilliams759 they are now known as the nordman7 but honestly I can't slide around even if I want to slide a corner. They are really durable. I have a small Yaris 2007 and since I have them I never got stuck. I swear to the Lord of car, this is my best car purchase ever
I wish it snow like this again in my city
These people aren’t used to ❄️ I put my snow tires on my Yukon every winter being from Philadelphia Pa
I live in europe and snow tires here are mandarory in the colder regions. If you don't use them you will get a ton of tickets and if you crash the insurance companies will decline paying for the damages.
Heads up! This is Raleigh, NC, in the SOUTH, where it snows once or twice a YEAR. Why would anybody buy snow tires? This isn't Philly. This isn't Sweden. If it snows at all, schools shut down, as do most businesses, and most people stay home.
Guaranteed these people are from the north they move to the South thinking they can drive in the snow. But there is hardly any snow removal down here.
Most the Native Southerners just stay home when it snow because they know better.
Not one 4x4 active that's the problem here!!! All fwd...
im a tow truck driver i helped a determined as hell S10 pickup up a icy hil that refused to give up lol driver steered it i pushed from the rear
No headlight No hazard light being turned on at all.
Did you see the dog he was enjoying the hell out of the show. How do you have so many 4×4 cars and trucks and none of them is in 4 wheel drive 🤔🤨
Two words: tire chains.
'' dog ''....I am not going out there with those no-driving snow people.
so no one there knows about underster?
The best thing you can do with your camera zoom, is to ignore it!
1:30 ...snow... ...snow...
nooooooo winter starting!!!!!!! 🐶❄️😭😵🌨️
did they have wintertyres???
Alf Alfonso No
When it snowed like this in Atl I drove Uber and made nice money taking people home and getting school kids home. When ur from up north we kno how to drive in snow. Bad part was south dnt clear road like up north. So it was little rough 😕 had to stay away from hills thankfully I knew atl roads
News Flash! Ice is slippery.
We're due for a big storm
