[@oldbroad7672]

And even with all the cars & trucks off the side of the road, drivers are still just zippity do-daahing along at speed 🤷‍♀️

[@SevereWeatherCenter]

This is horrible. I really hope those truckers are OK.

Hi there, is it ok if I use this clip "Freezing Rain Turns Interstate 94 nto A Skating Rink, West Fargo, ND." on my channel? with credit (name on screen). Can you explain what happened ?update?

[@doug3819]

Road conditions are bad but at times this is caused by driving too fast for conditions. I was a commercial driver for 10 years during the 1980s. I seen this many times.

[@jimsmisadventuresinbeekeeping]

@doug3819 Honestly, it is always caused by driving too fast for conditions, up to and including failing to leave enough room to (hopefully) stop before becoming involved in a accident ahead of you. I reired in 2016 after 24 years driving OTR and not once was I involved in an accident on icy roads. Slowing down, leaving proper distance between myself and the person ahead of me played a big role, as well as shutting down if I thought road and weather conditions warranted it. Nowadays they all seem to want to be Billy Big Riggers, when in fact the industry is loaded with nothing but steering wheel holders.

[@Jeff-kj3mk]

Professional truck driving at its finest😂

[@LITTLE1994]

Be careful out there, people.

[@stefanpuffer]

Nobody but EV drivers to blame for ice on the road.

[@northerngrace6108]

when was this?

[@StormChasingVideo]

today

[@northerngrace6108]

@@StormChasingVideo Wow, thank you!

[@halfbee123]

2 words...SLOW DOWN!

[@JasonShipley1979]

I’ve been in this situation numerous times before. When freezing rain turns to ice it makes for treacherous and dangerous driving which I usually stay put at home in this situation

[@stratussol2475]

I was in the storm, our trees lost a lot of branches and the power lines snapped.

[@pkmcnett5649]

Wow! Heart attack ride!

[@darlenekuhn7626]

THANKS! SHARED THIS OUT.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

OMG. Slow down people. Why the hurry? Nightmare.

[@sp4604]

more flip flop no english speaking truckers on the roads

[@HamburgerAmy]

folks out there doing 70 like their brakes still work on that skating rink

[@Loyal68]

I feel like something was not normal at 58 seconds.

[@Joe-kz2ol]

Road are not dangerous just drivers!!

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

Wow, hope everyone is ok

[@FanaticalPurifier]

Drive better! :D

[@boomergirlable]

Prayers to all

[@leelaural]

be sure to slow down for conditions, and slow down if you see traffic disruption ahead, and please move over or slow down if you are passing an accident, or police car...

[@anthonysacco5010]

This stretch of the highway is always like this... i slow roll through there the moment the roads look glassey

[@billw1266]

Can’t understand why people are slowing down. I don’t see anything except vehicles in the ditch so I’ll just keep going at speed. After all, ND folks know how to drive on black ice.

[@chica3976]

WOW!

[@galewinds7696]

Why can't the road department put salt down?

[@StormChasingVideo]

It was not expected

[@markiefufu]

It happens almost every year, though usually a lot earlier. This being a warmer year so far there hasn't been much, if any, snow and ice in the upper Midwest this season. So there isn't really any residual salt or chemicals on the roadways. And as was explained above, this storm wasn't expected, so the roads weren't pretreated.

[@jrloopy1984]

North Dakota doesn't use much salt. At least rural where I live.

[@4672-m9f]

speed it up anyway
