driving in snow and blizzard conditions 2/2/2016

A drive home in a winter storm.

[@krypton1982]

I like this video. Honestly, if i was the one driving i would be white knuckling it. But the fact that it is a video with no talking amd someone else is doing the driving, it is cathartic and strangely relaxing.

[@scavengerspc]

Nothing more calming and relaxed than a careful, leisurely drive in snow. Music playing. Heater keeping things nice and warm in the vehicle. Kick back brothers and sisters.

I love driving in Michigan snowstorms.

Wow, how quiet and peaceful...

Oh it gives me a good night sleep. How calm 😊

[@mvg2x34]

Its 2022 and 2 minutes into the video gas is posted at $1.59 a gallon? Those were the days. I like driving in the snow too. Especially when there is less traffic. It becomes a different world.

Drove the same type of conditions from St. Ignace to Escanaba years ago. Tense very tense.

When I worked for Jeep Corp we had to come in and work unless it was a level 3 which our sheriff wound never call years and years had to drive to work like this in Toledo,Ohio

@Draggy654 for real though lol I live in Spokane, Washington and yeah we have long dry hot summers, but very cold and snowy winters. The first snow fall is gonna be tomorrow. We're expecting 6 inches which is almost average for a snowy day. I dont think its ever been 50° during the winter

I have seen 75 look like this ONE time in GA. Blizzard of 93. Stranded for days

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

Joes Golden Garage I remember that! I live in the SE corner of Tn near Chattanooga. Only time I ever got to go snow tubing here. That was a lot of fun only being 11 years old at the time. Except for the power outages, of course.

[@fasx56]

The historical definition of a Blizzard is a combination winds above 35 mph and a temperature below 20 degrees with snow falling or a ground blizzard where the wind picks up snow that has already fallen. The term is used by most people to describe a heavy snowstorm with some wind that is cutting visibility and causing bad road conditions, their intention is not to be technical correct but to just relate their experience with a little hyperbole.

[@blgarage9519]

[@franzisaryk5965]

Temperature has nothing to do with the definition of a blizzard....snow,wind and visibility are the 3 criteria for a blizzard

[@fasx56]

@@franzisaryk5965 I was citing the definition from the National Weather Service which is a pretty good authority. Temperature has a lot to do with the definition. You can have Ground Blizzard with no snow falling, the high wind picks up the dry powdery snow and blows it around sometimes causing whiteouts, heavy wet snow will not cause snow drifts nor produce a ground blizzard. The temperature has to be at least in mid twenties or lower to produce blowing, drifting snow, this happens a lot in the upper Midwest and Canada. Anyway no big deal I hope we all can enjoy a White Christmas.

[@franzisaryk5965]

@@fasx56 I wasn't being rude or a dick I was just saying I've never seen temperature as a criteria for a blizzard on the weather channel...Anyway I think it's amazing how you can have a blizzard without it even snowing mother nature is so cool thanks for the conversation

It isn't calm having to drive in those conditions.

[@snapcrrracklepop]

I’d be scared to drive in this. I can’t go down a snowy street without wrecking

[@NoName-ms8jb]

People hate driving in the snow because it can be dangerous but it looks so fun and peaceful to me. Now, the highway or the interstate is my exception. You want to avoid highways and interstates because that is where pileups happen. Most pileups involve 50+ vehicles and some of those vehicles are semis. Being involved in a pileup can be lethal.

[@mushroomsteve]

Also the T intersections or the four-ways can be very dangerous in snowy or icy conditions, and same with hills and curves.

[@cfoster81]

There is an art to driving in the snow which takes years to master. Since it does snow often at times in the Washington DC area via nor'easters and I try to keep light pressure on the accelerator and if it is a stoplight ahead, I give myself extra room to decelerate without locking up the brakes.

[@woonko3300]

Lake effect snow. I get mine from Lake Superior. Marquette can be a real bang-smacker as well.

[@richeyrich]

I hate driving in snowy conditions as this - but Jeep smashes through everytime!!

[@sammatchett6014]

We just had our first snow fall of the year lest night. I think we got over a foot of snow. I can’t wait to drive!

[@Garretscornermid]

I live In Anchorage Alaska and we get worse than that. We get 50 to 60 mph winds and 1 foot of snow in about 3 to 4 hours maybe even 2 hours

[@hebneh]

I would find it a hindrance to drive in conditions where the edge of the pavement was completely obscured and I couldn't really tell where the road was.

[@twistiestv1718]

With chains I like to not be on bare pavement so I don't rattle my teeth

[@mandyalexander7838]

Try doing this with no rear brakes. I had to come home from Evergreen, CO. to Lakewood, CO. one night, a 15 mile stretch one night in a blizzard, more than half the trip is straight downhill shot, it wasn't until the next day when I took my car to the mechanic is when I found out my Blazer had NO rear brakes at all. I do not know how I ever got it stopped the whole way down.

[@acbrandt5]

For the most part, the state road commission does their best to plow the roads even during a heavy snow fall. However, the county (which is much smaller) needs to wait for the snow to let up or stop. There are 100's of 1000's of miles of roads that they need to clean. Naturally they do their best to get the busier roads cleaned first. Its not uncommon for secondary roads in rural areas to go a couple days before the roads get cleared. Thanks for watching!

Just love all the peeps arguing over if your storm is a blizzard or not. I grew up in Montana and yes I have experienced a blizzard or 2 but just to point out my arrogance I will say what you're experiencing isn't a blizzard because I have other worldly experience. It's kind of like saying cold that ain't cold I________________ and that is cold. Folks we can only comment according to our life experience and if the man says snow and blizzard conditions then to him that is exactly what he means. Well unless it was click bait and haha you fell for it too.

[@acbrandt5]

jeff m , thank you for pointing that out. Maybe it isn't a blizzard to a meteorologist, but it was bad. One thing that may be known to people that don't video these conditions is that the camera doesn't pick up the snow like the human eye. What I'm saying is it looks like it isn't showing a hard on film as it did in person. Thanks for watching.
