It's sleeting here. The ground isn't below freezing so there is no real accumulation, except for elevated roads (bridges/overpasses). But people here are idiots when it comes to foul weather, so watch for Austn to be on the national news in your area for the worlds largest pile-up.

It's supposed to be a little worse tomorrow morning.

About 3 or 4 years ago there was some real ice accumulation on the roads and we made national news for a 283 car pile-up... I often wonder who the idiot was that started it.

I'll be out and about in my AWD Subie today, so hopefully I can dodge the idiots.

Wish me luck!

 

283? After 100, you'd think you could see the huge plooms of smoke up ahead. After 200, you'd think the drivers would've already heard about it on the radio. Geez. Was fog involved?

 

If it ever sleets/snows/ices over here, im parking my car until its over. These people cant drive when its warm and dry. When it gets wet and warm, there are wrecks all over the place. I couldnt even imagine if ice, snow, or freezing rain was involved.

 

Well I don't think it was the kind of pileup that has a bunch of death and mayhem... just a bunch of little fender benders. I don't think there were any death or even serious injury.

I was visiting relatives in Pennsylvania when I heard it on the news. We just laughed and laughed.
