I’ve hauled furniture through here, with 16,000 in the box.. wind speeds gusting up to 60 and snow drifts.. Hit the 4 ways and gear it down, slow it down and keep on rolling.. I didn’t mind I-90... I hated hitting Hwy 212 HAHA!!
bill2526 bill2526 Nah.. I ain’t no steering wheel holder that’s for sure.. Can I be an idiot sometimes?? ohh yeah.. did I ever mention that I didn’t stop if it got bad? No sir I didn’t, but you go assuming.. When it got bad I did stop BUT I KNOW MY COMFORT LEVEL, you DONT!!! When my trailer starts swaying and I see daylight between my tires and asphalt, I’m parking it, if I can still handle it at a slow speed, I’m gonna go as long as the road is open!!
0:34 A few weeks ago I was driving on a 2-lane country road that had glare-ice like that, and wind like that, and my lightweight car was almost being blown clear off the road even though I had slowed down to a crawl. I saw a line of cars that were coming up quickly behind me, so I pulled off onto the wind-side snow-covered gravel shoulder to let them pass. They just flew by me at high speed! I noticed how on the snow I had control back again, so I continued driving on the snow instead of on the road, for another 5 miles until I could turn off onto a larger less ice-covered road. Sometimes it is better to drive on the snow than it is to drive on the road when there is ice (and I have really good winter tires on too, but they don't help much on wet ice).
So true..nothing works on ice. I lived in northern Canada surrounded by forest for many years. Temps usually don't vary much..never had a zero visibility blowing snow drive out of town due to dense forest. Now live on the prairie where highway conditions in winter change every 20 kms.
Its good to see ppl in ditches.. .speeding always give you trouble...hope they will learn something for next winter..."dont speed" simple...or "stay home"...
The best advice for winter weather driving like that is to not even try to drive in it. Stay home. It's not worth your own safety or anyone else' s safety to risk driving in conditions like this.
@@Weatherby406 oh ok that makes sense. I was surprised because I see professional drivers as being able to drive well in most conditions. I never thought of the load weight. Thanks for your comment.
@@brazillady5119 Because they usually get on the road when it's icy and go 90 mph on the highway thinking 4WD means it won't slide on the ice. They usually end up flipped over in a ditch or causing a pile up.
French Vanilla and Captain Tigger - that makes sense. I drive a 4-wheel drive, but I still know that I need to drive with some common sense. I still slow down.
Because they speed..they think they have 4 by 4..they can go through easily in all weather....its good they end up in ditch...hope they will learn some lesson for next winter...
I've driven threw Wyoming into salt lake and all around it year after year. I've been in snow storms and all, Ice and 0 viability. I don't miss it and I'm not going back to it.
@@Mass_hole508 Sadly thousands of seniors who shouldn't even be driving a car around town in summer are doing just that. To get to their snowbird destination. Either using 2 lanes on highway and in city limits with their huge motorhomes towing an suv. We've seen way too many who should be flying down south instead for everyones' safety.
Tarn Sand - But who knew a 5th wheel would stay in one piece like that? Had to have a serious metal frame, I’ve seen a few similar accidents, and many don’t handle torque like that, they bust up into dozens of pieces with wood everywhere.
нормальная зима такая, снега не много еще, да на открытых продуваемых пространствах ГОЛОЛЁД... фурам и грузовикам рекомендуется установка цепных устройств на задние приводные колёса.
They do close them when they get BAD. This was just winter out here. Many people would lose their jobs or at least not get paid if they stayed home and did not do their jobs. I drove in stuff like that and worse for 57 winters never had an accident or went in ditch except 2 times on purpose to avoid being smashed by an out of control idiot. But only drive on roads you know well when the visibility drops, slow down, use your engine not your brakes, and do not listen to radio talk to anyone, 100% of your attention must be on the road and on all the drivers around you. It is nice to be retired and allowed to stay home now. Also as a young driver practice in empty parking lots, gradually gain experience before you try combining ice, wind and low visibility.
Sue Smith, well said ..Commonsense goes a long way. I drive for a living and thank God I’ve never had an accident in the snow are use caution keep my distance pray for myself and even for the idiots That Don’t use common sense....Life is too short and we need to think of ourselves as well as others around us . thank you for being a great driver.. Enjoy your retirement
If you think your life is in danger get off road. Thousands of skilled drivers in winterized vehicles drive safely through stuff like this all winter every winter.
I don't get it, every year is the same thing with these stupid people, They live in this kind of weather , Why don't spend some money and buy a winter tires ?
U folks do amazing videos. Love to watch the different storms
Looking good!
That is amazing how many people are in the ditch... Before cell phones people knew how to drive
That and the road conditions make the semis flipped and make cars spin out
I made a delivery in Sioux Falls, SD on 12/28/19. I knew the storm was coming but I was able to reload in Mitchell and get out of there ahead of it.
It’s not the people drive stupid sometimes the Highwinds with high profile vehicle like 18 wheelers and RVs they get blown off the road when it’s icy
Slow down or else you get time out... In the ditch!
I drive this road often. Being from Wisconsin these Storms make me laugh. Please....... Just Slow Down and Drive the Conditions.

It's crazy to keep driving on those road when they should just get off
They got off the road and into the ditch.
What a dm mess!
Conditions like this keep tow services in business.

I have steel studded tires.Try em you will like em.Just do not overdrive for conditions.Amen.
One of the best by far
Its good to see ppl in ditches..

Amazing Media That Wind is No Joke Huh ?
I'm amazed by how many semi's are in the ditch. You would think, of all drivers, a professional driver would know how to drive in those conditions.
I’d bet 90% of those are not loaded or loaded very light. If they don’t have a load on the wind will blow them in the ditch.
@@Weatherby406 oh ok that makes sense. I was surprised because I see professional drivers as being able to drive well in most conditions. I never thought of the load weight. Thanks for your comment.
Dios I love Miami
Looks like South Dakota needs some snow fence like Wyoming has everywhere !!!!
Come on people you've got to know what ice does
Be safe
tow truck people are making money
Mostly 4WD’s in the ditch... doesn’t surprise me.
John Fuller why?
@@brazillady5119 Because they usually get on the road when it's icy and go 90 mph on the highway thinking 4WD means it won't slide on the ice. They usually end up flipped over in a ditch or causing a pile up.
@@brazillady5119 ... Idiots think 4wd will go thru everything. It goes thru almost anything it just doesn't stop.

I drove through there and saw the W900L and the GP among a bunch of others on the 1st. 78k and it was still sketchy.
All are SUVs and Pickups in the ditch. Overconfidence? Impatience?
would be interesting to see how big rigs got to far opposite ditch on dashcam
I think I'm enjoying this boring winter in Ohio this year!
People just need to stay home during a snow storm that’s dangerous
If you don’t need to go out stay home
Wish I could be there in that 😪
'
must put all chaintires on the all tires...
be safety on the icey snowy ground
He had to be pulling a 5th wheel camper in that weather? He paid for that dumb decision.
Probably heading down south for the winter.
.
I thought that was the first commandment of fifth wheeling. High winds, icy roads...don't EVEN think about it!
Right you have a house on wheels! No excuse to be on the road.

well .. at least it's not meeee eeeeeeeee..... goddammit
1:44 I always thought it was self explanatory not to use cruise control in icy or slippery conditions! Guess not! 🤦♂️
I would love that any day over Alabama I'm sick of the above average one weather here bring back the cold to southern Alabama
You might need to move further north. Like a lot!
I wonder how many got cancer from those windmills
Patrick McAllister I’ve gone by many windmills. I’m sure my time is very limited. Woe is me!
00:44 lmao 😂 (yea I’d say that’s an emergency) .
I don't miss that shit.
Slow down, use your blinkers, keep safe speed , safe distance or better just stay home 🏠 . Those roads should be closed
They do close them when they get BAD. This was just winter out here. Many people would lose their jobs or at least not get paid if they stayed home and did not do their jobs.

Take on too fast on that snow
snow storm

I don't from Octorber to May 😀😃
Not sure why you people think you need to be out in that?? You just put other people's lives in danger😏
CynTheLasVegasGirl13 your comment doesn’t make any sense.
Stay home if you think your life is in danger. Thousands of skilled drivers in winter vehicles drive safely in this all winter.

Просто нужна хорошая зимняя резина
Good thing I don't live there......lol

Please go slow and start praying god will help
Got to love them supper truckers out there! America truckers can not drive take an Canadian to get the job done!
When its blowing like that the roads should be closed
A
I don't get it, every year is the same thing with these stupid people, They live in this kind of weather , Why don't spend some money and buy a winter tires ?
Looks like al gore needs global warming chains!
@Kraakmo Supposed to rain here in southern Alberta tomorrow..but that's typical when we have warm weather/ chinook winds past 10 days.
