I was in a 2014 Nissan Rogue driving for Uber. Yes it was icy but at the same time know your limits. I was out for 3 hours didn't see one plow. Got my riders where the wanted to go and me and my car gratefully made it home safe.
The roads were warm, the temps dropped fast and it dumped lots of snow quickly. Everything turned to ice. I left work early to beat the worst of it. South Springs was fine, everything north of Interquest was a mess. I don't blame the plows, they didn't have a chance it was too quick. Please get some winter tires ya'll. And drive like you want to arrive somewhere alive, not fast.
This was the day I arrived from Florida, and let me tell you you Colorado people have some balls. Driving around those turns/mountains/drops with no guardrails in the snow 😬😬😬
Which means your city/county is prepared for it. We've had a really dry winter over here and it was on forecasted to snow for 2 hours max so nothing was prepared.
this is the biggest truth. only studded tires can even touch it and not a ton at that. was on north carefree in this storm that night, big black ice downhill section, there was cars wrapped around telephone poles and everyone spinning out. gotta be careful when the temperature suddenly drops below freezing
I see a lot of comments about snow tires and I get it, they are helpful in snow. But this is our second snow storm of the season. It makes no sense to put snow tires on your car when we get a night of snow in a month and the rest of the time the roads are bone dry. Regular asphalt tears up snow tires quickly.
@@royalsapphires3296 winter tires are made from softer rubber. That keeps them from being too hard in freezing weather. It also makes them too soft when it is warm.
What we get alot of in Colorado is “White Outs”! Blizzards with extremely high winds, you can’t see the road, all you see is white. In March 2017 we got a cyclone bomb a blizzard with 100 mph winds.
My brother and I drove up to Cripple Creek during this storm. It was awesome. It was far worse in town than up in the mountains. No, we didn't hit the jackpot... but it was fun.
The first real snow fall everyone's seemingly forgotten how to drive in it. It takes a couple good snow drops to get their wheels back under them but we manage.... after a few slip n slides lol!
That's ridiculous how slippery that is but I believe it. I've been unable to get traction before with AWD and snow tires, worst vehicle for the snow has to be the RWD trucks, no weight at all over the tires.
True, but it only takes a few hundred pounds in the back to make up the difference. The worst was an empty box pick up with a posi rear end. Not only do you not go anywhere, the but you go sideways on every corner and anytime you hit the gas, lol.
@@heidisparks4688 Yes, I'm aware of this.... Ice becomes more dangerous with 4x4 and AWD..... This truck doesn't have 4x4 or AWD. Do you see the front tires spinning at all.... That was the joke...
Why don’t they salt the roads here? Even up in the mountains towards the ski resorts, Xmas Eve the conditions were horrendous and all we saw were snowplows (that were no real help against the sheets of ice). We passed dozens of cars in ditches, countless accidents, luckily we drove very very slow and have 4 wheel drive but it was terrifying
We do use salt but it’s normally reserved for blizzards. Besides most people are fine in the snow. Most people have here have all seasons that are not approved for snow and are basically using summer tires in the snow
My daughter is moving to CS from Louisiana this spring, I’m worried to death about her driving in these conditions. Everybody knows Louisiana folks can’t drive on snow & ice! She and I spent a few days there and left the day before this video was filmed.
Hahahah this is the side of Colorado springs where all the people that moved from California are now living and have completely gentrified it, this is why they can't handle an inch of snow. I live about 3,300 feet above the spring's and I still can live my life by driving up and down a snow covered canyon road...I swear no knows how to drive or even went to the proper driving school before they got behind the wheel.
I just moved here a few months ago, and I have lived all over the US - this was one of the worst conditions I have seen. And for some reason, downtown in the Austin Bluffs area, it was way worse than by my place around Fort Carson. Luckily, I had my blizzaks on my Jeep and my 4WD on the Snow setting. Great video!!
People,, Take a driving tip,, When coming up or attempting to stop and the roads are this slick,, simply put the transmission in neutral and whala!!! You'll usually stop in far less distance as opposed to having the drive train engaged,, Oh one more thing,,, get a good set of tires !!!!!
Question for the locals! My daughter will be moving there soon, what are your tires of choice for these conditions? I plan on getting her a small AWD SUV. Is there somewhere that offers a course in winter driving or is that not a thing?
just dont drive like an idiot and she should be fine. no special anything needed. i moved here from minnesota where it is FAR worse than here. if she can drive in the sun, she can drive in the snow and rain.
You get what you pay for. Ideally she should have 2 sets, one for summer, one for winter. Michelin make great tires, but you pay for them. Ideally though, if you can't drive in these situations, you shouldn't be out driving. Plan ahead, leave early, stay late, are all better than trying to risk it ESPECIALLY in town where there's a ton of other people that aren't capable. Just my 2 cents. Good luck to her, of she doesn't like it in Colorado try SLC
All years and learn how to chain your tires when it's that bad and the chains are to get you out of trouble not into trouble so it's a tool used to get home not to the store
As someone said above, ideally two sets of tires. If you don’t have that kind of budget, search for all seasons that are approved for snow usage. Most people have no traction at all due to their all seasons being all seasons that are designed to be used in the rain and dry only
I love Colorado Springs but the lack of "snow control" is criminal for a place this large. If you don't have dedicated snow tires, you're asking for major issues, AWD/4WD or not!!.
This is true. We barley ever get snow here though. So I see why it’s not a priority. Up north by monument however? They get snow. South by salida? Definitely get snow! The issue is with the springs is it’s in an area where predicting the weather is extremely difficult. It’s a mile high, yet rests in a hole, and has the Great Plains to the East with mountains to the West. I am no meteorologist but I know that the weather here can change in an instant, to the point where even the Doppler radar has to be updated constantly to get an accurate result. Too many factors. Plus a lot of our plows are used for other reasons by the city, like for materials transport or for construction. Plus, with thousands of people moving here from states that never get snow, we have a lot of drivers who treat it like driving in the rain which is very unsafe. I remember driving home from work in a massive snow storm, going a safe speed and seeing people doing at least 5 over the speedlimit by fort Carson! Even if there was proper snow control, people who have never lived in a winter weather state have no idea how to drive in these conditions. I have AWD, and the best thing I’ve ever learned is to turn off traction control and lock the rear diff if you can in deep snow. Anyways, I wish we were known for snow! We’re known for the other type of ice, you know, the baseball sized insurance claims that fall from the sky :/.
For the people who don’t live here. The city refuses to plow. They wait for the sun to melt it in the next few days. So basically they save money but all these accidents are really because their lazy. I’m from Minnesota and this infuriates me. I have lived here for nine years and my neighborhood has never been plowed.
Good point. I work in CO Springs.I got all 4 new tires shortly after this night because it was a little sketchy but didn't have any issues other than a slow drive. Maybe I should get cables as well
I'm so sick of all the southerners that move here and put us locals in danger, it's getting out of hand and the city needs to stop approving new developments.
Thats the sound of locked up tires on snow and ice. He was sliding towards the car and had to swerve around it, still couldn't stop and was honking his horn to warn everyone in the intersection that he was COMING!
was leaving work behind a great big lifted ford dually and he was spinning all tires trying to go up a slight bump of a hill, i just rolled on past him in my little KIA, Texans cant drive, change my mind
Jeeps are sliding, trucks are sliding! I was a courier in Colorado Springs and my Honda Element AWD all season tires did great in snow. 👍🏾My manual Acura rsx fwd with Michelin x snow tires got me out of a huge storm. 👍🏾I couldn’t stop and you have to be really good with a manual stick. Everyone else was stuck. My Toyota Highlander 4wd 👍🏾did great in two colliding blizzards on my way back to sunny California. In Colorado Springs I saw too many family sized vans stuck in snow on Powers to ever consider getting one - fwd Honda odysseys and Nissan quests. Maybe Toyota sequoias too.👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Why live in a state like that and not carry snow chains 3 months out the year. They are cheaper than snow tires. I found a brand new set in Goodwill. I have 4x4 but even that won’t be enough on ice. Plus 4x4 doesn’t help you stop.
Born and raised in Colorado, people are getting so ridiculous!! 4 wheel drive does NOT mean 4 wheel STOP people!! You never saw this kind of embarrassment in the 80s. Stop being stupid and learn how to drive in the snow!! Of course back then people wouldn't care that you were playing around in a snowpacked parking lot. It's just not playing, it's learning!!
That’s why Subaru is so popular here best AWD and good pair of snow tires! My wife drove out of this very area yesterday in her Subaru Forester XT, when this video was filmed. It’s on voyager Blvd between north gate and interquest .
People think AWD and 4WD equates to 4WStop. It doesn't. Not on ice. Going home on the 14th to WPk from the Springs, people were flying past me up the pass. About 10-15 minutes later, I came upon flashing lights and 1 vehicle perpendicular to the lane and another flipped over and down in the Midian between west and east bound lanes. Driving by the accident (and way before) I could feel traction being poor at best, in spots. It's all these poor drivers that scare me as they end up pulling you into their accident.
This is embarrassing. I drove around that night in the same area in a rwd drive truck with open country A/T 3's and had no issue's hadn't slid once and it was arguably worse. In my opinion, This is a mix of lack of confidence in one's ability and ones vehicle. Being overly cautious is almost as dangerous as being completely carefree and reckless. Drive normal but be aware and ready to correct.
BTW, for all you it's a jeep thing people, jeep wranglers are the absolute worst in the snow and ice. I'd rather drive a long wheel base read wheel drive. I sold mine and was the best decision ever.
@@remington1210 simple. short wheel base and high center of gravity. Also tires on jeeps are typically off road oriented, not all season or snow tires, so your right about the tires being part of the problem, just not the main problem.
@@remington1210 Have you ever even driven a Jeep Wrangler in ice or snow? I'm guessing not since it's pretty well known that Jeeps are not good in that aspect. Children, I swear. 🤦
This is obviously the time they make their living. And giving "these folks a lesson in should have stayed home" can neatly be done by taking their money after getting their debris from the streets 'n ditches. ^^

You don't just drive around with chains on unless you like going really slow. This is one intersection with a traction problem. There is no way to tell from this video that these people should have had their chains on before entering the intersection.
I think these people should learn to drive in the snow....I didn't slide once Friday night....you don't slam the gas and you don't slam the breaks....thus video makes me cringe

My favorite part of all this is that not to many people seem to know what the freak there’re doing. But, EVERYONE is in a hurry to do it. Lol..

the tards who run the springs don't lay down salt to melt the snow/ice
Which means your city/county is prepared for it. We've had a really dry winter over here and it was on forecasted to snow for 2 hours max so nothing was prepared.
@@goody8504 they do use salt. Just not for small snow. They used salt last year during the 3 feet of snow storm
You know you’re wrong when people have better traction in their boots, than you have in your car.
Amen...
Obviously, things haven't changed in this town in 50 years.
They aren't from here they don't know
Driving on ice, no one can say they are the best. There is no such thing as the best car on black ice.
this is the biggest truth. only studded tires can even touch it and not a ton at that. was on north carefree in this storm that night, big black ice downhill section, there was cars wrapped around telephone poles and everyone spinning out. gotta be careful when the temperature suddenly drops below freezing
actually, the new snow and ice rated tires are pretty amazing on ice. Not as good as studs or chains, but still impressive.

there has been no "snowstorm" here in the springs. just regular snow.

@@remington1210 Are those Icelandic skis in your profile picture? If so,nice!
It's cheaper to NOT buy winter tires, and just slide around, crashing into yur friends
Dang dude, its N😯 J😳KE for sho..folks stay home, be safe!👍
Just 25 mins south of the location in video (Security Widefield Area) not a speck of snow nor ice.
SFB's. I have SFB's. LOL!!!!!!~!~~~
Two wheel drive truck in Colorado is not a good idea
and now add the increasing red light cameras you get yourself a money making system
I have a big 4×4, I never have to deal with this crap!
Lol I find this crazy. I do snow removal I'm colorado springs and ill drive through this in my ford focus like nothing. Lol experience I guess 🤷🏾♂️
No to videos that start with an ad, BYE!
Tow trucks should take the day off. Give these folks a lesson in should have stayed home.
Oh pumpkin, theres hardley any snow there really , this is mainly choices in vehicle, for Colorado you NEED a 4WD
This is obviously the time they make their living.
And giving "these folks a lesson in should have stayed home" can neatly be done by taking their money after getting their debris from the streets 'n ditches. ^^

Why no snow chains? Why drive unprepared?
I live in CO and chains aren’t required. The issue is ice due to extreme cold weather.
@@soniaipcarvalho6201 Whether they are legally required or not, people should be prepared to use them if the roads dictate that chains are needed.
You don't just drive around with chains on unless you like going really slow. This is one intersection with a traction problem. There is no way to tell from this video that these people should have had their chains on before entering the intersection.
Must of just moved here
lol guaranteed its all the people who moved here in the past two years. Ive lived here for 15 plus years and this was nothing.
I think these people should learn to drive in the snow....I didn't slide once Friday night....you don't slam the gas and you don't slam the breaks....thus video makes me cringe
AWD no tienes un auto de esta forma no salga a retar la nieve
FYI get you a 4wd
Fillmore...I 25
These people need to be off the road where are the trucks 4wheel drive at
You are lucky you get chains on your tires wis outlaws that
