A little late night shopping to avoid the crowds. -5 C and snowing hard. Filled 9-5 wagon with gas and pulled out on 80kmh road. In a 2km stretch, I saw 3 spots where vehicles had already been removed from the ditch, one removal in progress (Dakota 4x4), 2 vehicles awaiting removal, and 2 close calls (where I could alternately see both sides of the vehicles following me in the rear view). A little further up the road an Explorer was in the ditch, followed closely by flashing lights with a firetruck and ambulance working on a minivan. Total trip was about 5km.
And it's not like people here are surprised by snow....
I just drove to the mall and back, shaking my head at the carnage and not understanding at all.
2001 9-5 wagon, 15" steel with Nokian NRW 195/65-15.
