Chaos On The Roads From Heavy Snow, Denver, CO - 2/3/2024

[@skybearer]

Blows my mind that people don't think to at least turn on their lights so everyone else can see them.

[@STREETRACEN4U]

That kind of thought requires more than 2 brain cells

[@theresalally1620]

@@STREETRACEN4U 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pdet1951]

In pa if it is any precipitation you have to turn on your lights by law

[@markbrookes6557]

Folks like me in northern WV, we haven't seen weather like this in about a decade. Mainly cold rain and a little freezing drizzle here. On the upside, I've never shoveled drizzle.

[@chiirp]

Aaand the sun’s out it’s 41 degrees and Ruby Hill Park is filled with the sounds of chatter, laughter and rapidly melting snow / running water. Colorado is glorious!

[@brooks8792]

Thing about Colorado, this could be gone by tomorrow, depending on altitude. Yes, just stay home. Looks like it may have happened midday.

[@evelyn.embers]

It started snowing Friday night and didn't stop until Saturday evening. A lot of it melted today lol

[@madelinewhitley326]

Depends on the month, or altitude, it could stick around for days, or gone tomorrow.

[@1945tigers]

I live in Thornton have a Jeep with lockers but I still know when to stay home.Some folks will never learn,

[@tamaragonzalez2227]

Oh I do not miss the stress the tightening of your body driving in conditions like that.

[@evelyn.embers]

So glad I didn't have to leave the house on Saturday! We got over a foot where I live

[@Riatehmonstrrbunneh]

My boss forced us to stay open cuz she said “we’re adults and a little snow isn’t a good reason to close” my car got stuck 3 times before I had to abandon it. I wish I never left my apt that day 😭

[@dawnleopold]

I miss snow like that we use to get that kind of snow once in a while when I lived in NJ. Now I’m in TX 10 years and I haven’t seen any snow. I know some of these people can’t help but be out on the road but for Gods sake those that can stay home please do.

[@wrongway100]

I was in Grand Junction in the desert riding my e-bike 50 degrees and sunny here

[@m7j23s53]

Your winters are nothing compared to Denver's.

[@martinr8278]

Wouldn’t want to be in that mess! Ohio use to get snow like this decades ago…not anymore. We just get extended fall, then spring. Drive safely

[@poco1174]

Shoveled this stuff for 20 years. Finally moved to the desert. This was glorious when I could still ski. After that………

[@m7j23s53]

I envy you

[@kerstink7649]

Where is the problem? Here in Germany we have to use Winter tires from Oktober until Easter. Maybe not necessary in each corner in the country, but helpful. And here in the black forest there is somtimes lots of snow. My husband and I never have problems because of the tires and 4WD. We love to drive in the snow, especially at night when the snow plow wasnt there.

[@rayray4192]

Good tires are important. Looks like a fast moving storm caught motorists unaware and unprepared. Why wouldn’t you own 4wheel drive or all wheel drive living in Denver, or carry tire chains? The conditions look fine for travel. Slow down and never ever lose your momentum. That can only happen if drivers space themselves out and give each other room. I own my own tractor and trailer. Denver drivers are not very good in the snow. I roll through Denver in these sort of conditions at 3 A.M. at 50 MPH. 80,000 pounds keeps you on the roadway. I would also have both drive axles chained up and one trailer axle chained up. I would roll through town and head west up and over the Rockies. I don’t play this game. I park east of town and start driving at midnight.

[@-Moloc-]

The all season tire club.

[@evaportes6784]

Like done

[@evaportes6784]

Take care drive Host

[@jacquelinebaxter6420]

Be safe

[@AstoriaHeard]

And this is why I left Denver. Thoroughly enjoying the mild GA winters now. Gotta LOVE snow, ice, frigid temps, and own a 4wd to make it there.

[@Denverscorpio]

Thank you for leaving! It means a lot.

[@ewizzle2]

Keep your warm junk nothing beats the ROCKIES 🏔️🏔️

[@williamhawks2372]

That’s why you should stay home when you got big storms out there or maybe the highways can’t handle the job. I seem worse in New York state upstate finger lake region and I love it pound the roads like this weather right you have now 30 mph or 35 where I am

[@Christina-yq7xg]

I'm from FL I have been in Colorado springs for almost 10 yrs I would not be out in that I know some people have to especially the semi trucks that's crazy

[@djkache]

This video made me even more happier that I'm moving to AZ in a couple weeks! lol

[@apextroll]

Do people use winter tires there?

[@valc8758]

Yes, and sometimes they are NOT enough...

[@MikeX3000]

They always get a real winter there every year.

[@m7j23s53]

I can confirm that

[@Riatehmonstrrbunneh]

I was one of the people that got stuck, I got stuck 3 times. Third time I gave up and abandoned my car and walked home.

[@asad5067]

how did you get stuck? i have winter tires and a base model sedan fwd. i turn off traction control to get more power. ive maybe driven in 1 foot of snow.

[@karenkennedy6331]

I grew up in Denver, It could be sunny tomorrow.

[@vincecarnevale4406]

So much for all season tires,good for one inch of snow.

[@AStanton1966]

Someone needs to tell that state's DOT that there is a new invention called a "snowplow!" As for the drivers, there's some new inventions for them as well: "snow tires and tire chains!"

[@valc8758]

Plows are out but can't keep up with the snowfall...not to mention that cars are blocking the highway here and there.

[@petercook3143]

We can do this for a week straight in Buffalo, just a normal day at the office. If it gets real bad the snowmobiles take over the streets.

[@Barbe194]

What I don't understand is why, do people drive in hazardous conditions?

[@valc8758]

Because sometimes you have to...foul weather or not there are no days off for medical personnel, law enforcement and others.

[@lenrom1711]

This is i-70?

[@lenrom1711]

Maybe I-470 too

[@serjbfg9279]

Зимнюю фрекционую резину не пробовали покупать ? Have you tried buying winter friction tires for your car?

[@-Cece]

Not the time for panic

[@JohnSmith-k1x]

Can you imagine what will happen when this snow pack melts and floods the low lying areas

[@brianfoley3925]

Choas on the roads in Denver is seven days a week, fifty-two weeks out of the year phenomena. I've driven all over the United States (including Hawaii and Alaska) as well as internationally. If ever there's a World Cup of Lousy Drivers or it becomes and Olympic event...Colorado will send the Team Captain and a large portion of the team itself.

[@timatkinson9291]

So these people don’t watch the weather forecast.

[@amerigovespucci4076]

They probably brought out THE SNOW PLOW to clear all the roads in the area........

[@BlueEyed888]

This is nothing if you actually have a brain. I keep winter tires on all 4 wheels on any car I own from October through April. All-season tires are a total joke. Rear -wheel drive cars are not sufficient, you must have an AWD car at the minimum in Colorado. The people getting stuck either have bald tires or all season tires and should not be allowed on the road.

[@serjbfg9279]

We do exactly the same in Russia

[@brucelee3376]

don't you just love it-- go faster and find out

[@celeno31]

[@lindytv3075]

Bad weather

[@lightclawshadowmarsch8167]

😮😅😅 not a single illegal crossing the border helping them yet can stand on the side of the road holding squeezes washing windows on cars.

[@speedymccreedy8785]

Odd, thought that the democrats in Colorado had outlawed snow, to fall in line with the global boiling storytelling.

[@rayray4192]

I wonder if you will ever choose to grow up?

[@JustHitRecord_]

yes because it snowed in Colorado...that means Global Climate change is not real....

[@Barbe194]

What does any party have to do with hazardous conditions?

[@gucciashton4731]

​@@rayray4192I think he is grown enough not to be fooled by fictional news clips, you ought to try and catch up.

They did outlaw snow but, Mother Nature is a Republican, bring it on!

Not a single electric car on the road 🤔

What you talkin about Willis?

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

People and their damn so called all season tires. Whoever came up with that term is a horrible person. They get people killed. Even if you manage to go a little you need to remember you have to stop and go around turns as well. A shame so many will never know just how good true winter tires are. They make a major difference in your winter driving experience. Just once in your life put a set on your vehicle. Remember it doesn't matter how many wheels have power, if your tires cannot get a grip, you are just as stuck.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Times like this you wish the climate scam was real I’m glad. Live somewhere where this just doesn’t happen

[@FrankGlover-k9b]

Yes, I wish global warming was real, so we don't ever have to deal with this crap

Freedom, baby. Freedom.

[@lightclawshadowmarsch8167]

Thats because the batteries over heat an catch fire trying to get through the snow an. all vehicles be it gas or electric sit to low to the ground. Further hindering the mobility of the vehicle
