What a mess i am a county plow driver of 21 years in central Mn i have never seen white out conditions like we did today we were going to run to 7:00 our boss called us off the roads at 6:00 because it was unsafe and we were loosing ground thanks to the troopers tow trucks and ems fire and every one on the scene here have a great day be safe and Merry Christmas.
Thank you for all that you guys do for us drivers. I'm a trucker and I really appreciate it. May God bless you all.
Wow 21 years experience and this has been the worst. I'm glad you're ok and Merry Christmas to you and yours 💝🎄☃️🎁
Thank you.
Thanks for all that you guys do!!!! I've lived in the Twin Cities for 50+ years and when it comes to winter, and winter driving, have seen a lot!!!! Not as much as what you have, I'm sure. But yesterday was one of those times that words do not do justice. Those winds were fierce. But if there is one thing I'll never understand is why some people think that just because they have AWD or 4 wheel drive, that they are somehow invincible. It never fails!!!! I can only imagine the stories you could tell. Thanks again for everything. All the best!!!!
Be safe. 😊🇨🇦
I won't ever get on a highway, when the weather is like this!
I was in a similar conditions a few days ago not nearly as bad but visibility was poor and i got off the freeway and waited it out. If it was forecasted to be whiteout conditions I would of never left the house
thank you....now run for President.
I can't understand why they keep hammered down n this every year
Your blessed you don't HAVE to.
If only we all had that luxury. Now, there's one more thing for you to be grateful for. 👍
Frank Kovac me either. I’ve called off work just to avoid this type of situation. I have ONE vehicle, I’m NOT RISKING my car, I’ll lose my life before I lose my only vehicle!
A few people in the comments say to stay at home and that you are foolish not to. They forget that the night shift exists. I had no choice but luckily my Honda Civic and I were able to make it to work through very careful driving.
The majority of those ppl don’t need to be on the road! That’s what there saying
My daughter was a teacher. Her school waited until conditions were terrible before they dismissed for the day. She got caught in the blizzard and had to spend many hours in her car. Very scary for anyone.
@Bio Kimistry not really
John Smith sooooo, all those people are the night shift? Come on...really?
Greetings fellow nocturnal worker -- about to go in for a 16-hour double tonight. Stay safe!
Drove down to Anoka today at 9:30 am clear and bright. On the way back at 11am drove through rain then freezing rain with cars off the road and finally whiteout conditions. Drive home 30 mph for the best part of that journey.
And for those that criticize others for being on the road, plenty of us are traveling for work. Not all of us have jobs that can be done from home or even changed to do so when there's a storm approaching.
GARTH,U SPEAKE THE TRUTH BUDDY...I HAD TO DRIVE 34 MILES TO AND FROM WORK IN THIS MESS UP HERE IN NE MINNESOTA!!
So your work contract does spell out you have to but yourself or other in danger. Hope your so important job pays well .
@@erhardbaehni1832 actually it’s the opposite. A lot of people with fast food or retail jobs that offer little or no benefits and meager pay are expected to come to work...no matter the weather. Show up or you’re fired. That’s why many restaurant workers go to work sick. They don’t have sick days. They might live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to lose a job. Yes, people will say “get a better job.” But that’s not fair, it isn’t that easy.
Luckily. I worked in a bank that treated me very well. Even though I felt guilty for not going to work in ice or snow, it wasn’t held against me. The bottom line for me was I didn’t make enough to risk my life or my car.
So glad you made it home safe. Been in situations like that. It comes in so fast.
You were safe and driving slowly.Your not the person who would cause the wreck,but you could have been hurt by the speeding fool who would.Glad you made it home safe and sound.
Glad I live in Phoenix, my MN friend sent me a video earlier on this blizzard crap, I got cold just watching it....I sent one to him, so he could warm up...
Reminds me of driving through blizzard conditions between Holbrook and Payson in 2005 at night. You couldn't see the road. The pucker factor went up.
I hope everyone is ok and give credit to all emergency units coming to aid. Police,fire,ambulance,tow operators, and plow drivers. Drove tow truck for 12 years in southern Minnesota and this was one of the worst I can remember
I lived in southern Wyoming for 10 yrs and had to commute on I-80 43 miles between Rawlins and Wamsutter. It was so scary in the winter. Saw so many wrecks..I left to go back home south central Texas..I felt I was so lucky to not be involved in a horrible crash during those years. I don't miss it at all.
This is what I saw on almost a daily basis going to and from work.
I got stranded in Rawlins last year during a storm! Was terrifying.
Rawlins is always bad for sure
Having spent over 50 winters in Colorado and the mountains, it only took one time of seeing the madness of I-80 in WY to never ever want to anywhere near it during any kind of weather.
Living in Rawlins is an unforgettable experience...and you will never forget the winters on I-80! I drove truck in between Sinclair and Little America delivering fuel twice a day...
In Minnesota. So glad we got groceries early in the day and are staying home!
For everyone who can't just "stay home", please drive slowly & safely in these conditions!
right? so many people just saying, why are you even out driving!!!!.. uh some people have to work. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to F off at home whenever a little nature rolls in. shout out to all the first responders and lineman out in the storm👊
@@MinneFab yeah exactly alot of ppl are essential & some can't afford to just stay home I saw so many comments like that... ppl are so absent minded
I was driving home in the snow in this same storm a few hours ago and someone was driving in the oncoming lane.... I had to slam on my brakes it was that bad of white out conditions. Luckily no one was hurt...
We are 138
You are lucky to be home safe now.
Well if u see that the weather is bad then wouldn't common sense tell u to stay home?
@@cutefeet63 That's right!! What happened to erring on the side of caution? Don't people reason any more?
You need to have "20 Eyes" in your head.
My gosh everyone please SLOW DOWN on THE HIGHWAYS & treacherous roads. Better yet, stay home.
Yes, Nanny Covid.
You're asking some people to use common sense - just a shame those who fail to use common sense aren't held fully responsible for their actions. Utopia doesn't exist unfortunately
Most of these people are coming from work
Yesterday i had to send two poeple home before the storm.
Work place need to close business down when a storm is coming
@chris they actually outlaw studded snow tires, I have a step that I can't use
SLOW down and get the middle finger! Why I own this road.....
I'll take Pele, a mild manner volcano here on the Big Island of Hawaii blowing up in my face than to have to deal with those weather conditions, holy moley! I'm so grateful for the 80 plus degree weather today with some vog. Hope people are okay. Be safe everybody, sending Aloha and love to all you wonderful peeps in MN.
What I'd give to be on a beautiful beach in Hawaii right about now.........
One upside to this is that at least we in the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" are guaranteed a "white Christmas." All the best to our Hawaiian friends, and a big "You Betcha" from Minnesota!!!!
'mild mannered volcano'
Be safe. Thank you for reports. God bless
What a bad situation. Hope everyone is safe.
Yeah I’d say so, I made it to the liquor store and they weren’t even open. And that’s in Duluth, on a hill!
I’m a resident in the area this is focused on, the visibility sucked and i had to help dig people out every 5 mins. As this morning, I’ve measured at 16 inches of snow, 45inch snowdrifts and one 5ft snow drift on my driveway
Oh that's funny
My prayers are with everyone. 🙏♥️🙏
@@flyinglego34 I'm a trucker, I just turned down a load to St. Paul. I would have taken me right through there on 94.
I've driven in plenty of blizzards, I trust myself. I don't however trust other people's driving.
Most people have no business on the road in a blizzard.
I just drove through this bless them and thank god for my safety
Lets be thankful that this is the first real real bad snowstorm we got this year. Well at least where I live in MN...
@Bio Kimistry I mean to me the other bits of snow weren't that bad. This was to me at least the first really bad one this year compared to previous years
We had two events in October with similar road conditions. The road temps were warm enough when it started snowing that there was an initial melt and then flash freeze.
Yesterday was pretty epic and yes conditions were worse.
We had a fair amount in anoka/ramsey area. I am amazed at the people that have lived here their whole life still can't drive in this stuff .
I put the blizzaks on the awd v8 charger and I find driving in this crap quite relaxing 😎
@@robsorgdrager8477 That is a very true statement. I'm only 19 and it amazes me that people are so careless or just don't know how to drive in extreme weather
We had horrible winds here in eastern Colorado, knew it had to be bad north of here. God protect the poor people.
Greetings from Chicago. Crazy strong winds here since yesterday. The house squeeking like an old ship or something. LoL
Yesterday was 57 and now it's 18 degrees, no snow, but brrrr.
We did too north of Denver! This just horrible a few days before Christmas.
I am originally from this area and know this hyway all too well. I do not miss this at all. Praying everyone is at home safely after this. Praying.
Sad thing is that I see some people litterally trying to go as fast as they can in these conditions and end up getting someone hurt
following to close...and idiots that stop when someone goes off the road
And they crash and block the road
No smith system
I have seen over and over again people driving crazy with no common sense Don’t know how they have lived this long
Many times the people causing these go unscathed just leaving destruction in their path....
Them: All-season tires work just fine in snow.
Blizzard: Hold my beer.
usually aint the tires but the nut behind the wheel. Thats where most of the problems begin and end. then again there was plenty of warning and people refuse to plan ahead
@@rollingacresfarmstead206 ok, if you think snow tires don't make a difference at all
I have had all season tires for 10 years now. Not once has any of my vehicles met the ditch
@@lruss2004 wow, what a dishonest statement.
@@Abandoned_Brane which statement?
My heart goes out to the people who have suffered in those car accident.
1 died and a bunch were injured. But its amazing more didn't die
@@melindasnaps9816 nobody died in this crash, there were only a few minor injuries.
I stay home and get high
May God look over you and bless yall 🙏
If there were a god....oh forget it, people like you cannot be taught.
Your god sent the storm, didn't he?
No evidence of god, just endless contradictions. sorry to say.
What a horrible start to the holidays. Stay safe everyone!
I is winter. This is par for the couese in them there parts...
Hope everyone is safe, considering the horrific conditions.
I drove to McDonald’s in the rain from my home 3 miles. On the way home the wind kicked up and the snow flakes were dime size. Only in Minnesota. Stay safe folks.
You are lucky; the snowflakes here are people size!
The weather can change so quickly. I'm glad you got home safely.
The day started 40° and calm. It started raining at noon .The temperature started dropping by 2PM it was 20°. At 3:30 it had started to snow and the winds were gusting to 60mph. By 4PM we had whiteout conditions. At times I couldn't see the house across the street! Northeast part of the Twin Cities.
Please slow down in those conditions. Have good winter tires and stay home if possible.
@@godbluffvdgg you forget the funeral homes they have to eat too greetings
People don’t like to be told what to do, especially when there’s a price tag. Snow tires seem to always fall into that category 🙄😕
@@DC-dc6ey Well, admittedly, they aren't cheap. Most people didn't have 500 bucks for an emergency expense and that was before the pandemic.
@@rockgod2131 that’s why I don’t own them myself 🤭
@@DC-dc6ey really ? Hmmm never ever had a set in my life cause I know how to drive in this
How frightening. I hope everyone heals quickly, physically and mentally.
I was a truck driver years ago. I-94 is a bad one. Please people be so careful. I'm praying for these folks.
I can't even imagine spending the night stranded on a highway in a blizzard.
Scary thought.
Happened to me many times the worst nightmare
That’s why u prepare put snacks and water in the car and heavy blankets and get some of those hand warmers . Also kitty litter cheap stuff and rock salt
The guy with the Ice Castle is set.
With the few had wished they were to have stayed home in inclement weather when forecast was for a snow storm and or freezing rain had them know it isn't worth their life to go out. With the few still driving like its still summer when they are wishing they would have stayed home if caught in a pileup.
"I think I'll skip the winter tires this year. The weatherman predicted a mild season."
Thank you for your services .God Bless you all
I'm thirty seconds into this and all I can think is God bless our first responders. ALL of them on all fronts.
Hopefully the folks involved will recover and heal emotionally as well as physically. They have a long road ahead.
Praying for all involved and affected.
Stay home if you can people. Please. For everyone's safety.
I will not let weather spoil my Christmas family get together.
The real problem is someone is always driving like its summer time and that causes a very bad chain reaction. I was out to Walmart and an SUV, was tailgating me.
I lived in Utah for 15 years where there is snow 8 months out of the year. EVERY YEAR People forget how to drive in the snow as if they have never seen it before.
I hate this so much
In blizzard conditions its almost impossible to avoid this situation. I live here and it is hard
Semi truck blowing snow in the opposite direction equals zero visibility.....especially in a corner
@@Mozart1220 Yup I know you're right.
I am praying for all involved. I lost my brother-in-law almost three years ago in a freak storm in Nebraska. He was driving a semi truck. He was so disfigured from the crash they had to cremate him. It was a complete shock.
So very sorry for your loss. These storms are tough.
When isn't there a massive pile up in the winter on that stretch of highway really.
And you look at the guy next to you, and you gotta think, hes going through the same thing, but your in it together, at least you got him and hes got you. Together. God bless
Imagine doing this job...please keep everyone safe and protected!!!!
The roads were no joke on this one.
Prayers up for all out there . Blessings
Yeah, chanting to your imaginary friend will help.
It was horrible out, these poor people
Hopefully everyone is okay.
being there is a blizzard warning why are they out there
@@christopherlee5719 There were those who had to go to work (not able to work from home), that combined with the day starting out rather balmy (by Minnesota standards anyway) with temps in the mid 40's combined with the fact that the precipitation didn't really get going until noon or so. Also, the Twin Cities metro area is bigger than many think: 3.25 million. Combine all that and it can be a recipe for disaster. Yesterday that recipe came together quite nicely. The sun is out today, but the temp right now is 0 degrees. Yep.......ZERO!!! That will wake one up real fast the second you step outside.
@@shrewd1245 and as I said I get that part, and I know some of us have to b in this. I drive 600 miles a day give or take 10-20 do to my long history of being on the road I would gather to say alot of people do senseless driving I do have some examples.
@@christopherlee5719 I met no offense with my comment. My bad if I came across as such. So, 600 miles a day?? Now that is some serious driving. I can only imagine what you have seen and experienced. You should write a book. Good to know you're okay. Stay safe and Happy Holidays!!!
@Nephtsys "and decent all weather tires" 😂😂
What a freakin' mess. They need firefighters and EMS with Arctic gear.
What's Arctic gear?
These brave helpers called, Minnesota Nice. But I'm glad not to live there anymore.
Firefighters need people to slow down in this weather, instead of driving 100mph, your putting us in danger,
Thank you for this. We hear about bad weather but to see it first hand.. WOW
Thank you for posting this.
This is why you should slow down and stop driving with your foot on your brain.
half the drivers are driving 20 mph over the limit so when they slow down for ice or snow they are doing the limit or slightly over . You can't fix stupid.
But, But I have all wheel drive and ABS brakes...and I'm a great driver!! 😑
Stay at home. Avoid any travel in this condition.
And get winter tires
no this is why you STAY home....mandated by Gov. Morons with NO traction.
This must be terrifying for everyone involved.
I've lived my entire life in Phoenix Arizona. I can't even comprehend this.
“I thought you could drive 70 mph during a blizzard on snow-packed roads”.
yes, but only in a four wheel drive,. they make you stop faster..or something..
I'm from East Texas. I haven't ever seen snow like that.i hope everyone is ok.
It's not the snow. It rained at about 11am and then it got super windy and cold n hr later, the roads where insanely slick!
It's just another winter here in MN.😂
this is just the start of a minnesota winter ... February and March are the snowiest months. In the older part of Minneapolis, many people have to use alleys to get into their garages. That is a HUGE challenge since you often get stuck going down the alley!
Prayers nobody was seriously hurt!!!! 💖💖
*IF YOU SEE SNOW & ICE ARE STARTING TO FORM, SLOW DOWN, DON'T SPEED UP, ACTUALLY, DON'T EVEN DO THE SPEED LIMIT!!!!*
Thanks for the warning. I'm travelling on christmas day and will pack a go bag in case of snow. Hope everyone got out of this one safely.
I was driving a semi through this blizzard and actually passed this accident. Way too many people were out-driving the visibility. If you can only see 100 feet, you can only go 30mph, otherwise you might as well just close your eyes and hope nothing’s there because once you see an obstacle, it’s already too late. I was able to stop in time, many people going fast were not. Stay safe!
Apparently no one watched weather report about blizzard & winds 🥶
Oh, they saw the advisories and warnings just fine. Thing is there are always those who believe that somehow it does not apply to them. They think that it's everyone else who doesn't know how to drive (and that all other drivers should automatically be aware of their glaring shortcomings), and because they have either AWD, or 4 wheel drive, that they are not affected by the snow and/or ice. It's the same thing every winter.
@@shrewd1245 this is so true. Suv and trucks with all wheel drive are the main ones speeding and the main ones in the damn ditch.
The word didn’t just stop because of weather
Was it covid related?
Yes, essential workers ;-)
Took me 2 hours to get from Hopkins to Annandale through this storm yesterday night. One of the top 5 blizzards I've commuted in.
Many blessings to all of those involved with helping the accident victims. ✌💖⭐🥰
I want to know how much money that 9 mile stretch between Albertville and Monticello has cost insurance companies in the last 3 months.
Insurance companies have made millions from those who drive safely.
@@sidsid9808 true. 💖
Not near as much as they get raising rates?
Right? I live in Albertville just south of the outlet mall so I know what you're talking about.
@@tomschloesser4787 still snowing? How many inches to rcve
Blizzard, *occuring*
People, “Must drive faster to get home!”
Here in New York it rains and people crawl and dont get in the right lane to let people pass,thusly creating road rage and accidents
“Snowflake Driving in a Blizzard”: drive faster to get home, talk on the phone when driving, make sure mocha latte doesn’t get cold doing so.
Thanks for posting. Much better than the news
Sad but really good footage thanks for sharing
God please watch over those that are traveling.
If there were a god there would not be idiots that try and drive during a blizzard. Of course there would be no covid or even people like Trump for that matter.
@@Mozart1220 I like your type of thinking... well done
How does god allow bad things to happen stop asking it to do magic
@@ellenokland2028 Shame on both of you. Only a hateful Liberal could turn this tragedy into something about Trump. Derangement syndrome on full display.
God is always watching, he likes to watch people suffer, that's why he sent the storm.
Someday a budding entrepreneur will go up and down the highway during a storm like this selling hot chocolate and coffee.
I was in big WI pile up in Feb 2019. The sun was shining on either side of the accident. Wind created micro blizzard. Drove slowly into white out and there was accident. Total ice inside. No stopping. Very scary especially when struck from behind from someone going 70. Glad to be alive!!
Some of these storm conditions come up fast - a little snow to white out in seconds. Most people drive in snow during winter up north with no big issue. Be safe, stay home if you can, and Thank You to all who are working this Holiday Season.
May God save n protect everyone ,,
Gods not real sorry
Yeah,because when people get hurt the ambulances take them straight to church.
I know that those living in the northern Midwest states are familiar with snow storm conditions, but please drive slower. Make sure you have adequate supplies. Food for a day, water, blankets, full tanks of gas and necessary toiletry items. You could be stuck for many hours.
Your the first comment ever that made sense. I've grown up in this all my life it's second nature to me
My whole town was out of power for almost 24 hours because of this storm. Been with power for the last 3 hours now.
Love and Positivity from the U.K 😊💖
Hope everyone is staying safe
Why can't people understand to slow down in a snowstorm. I forget their to busy on their cell phones?
Have you not been in a white out condition snow storm snow?
Because people on this days don’t care about people that what the problem
Pretty sure most people weren't on their phones. It hit fast this storm/blizzard. Went from 40 degrees to below zero high winds whiteout can't see and roads were ice and snow drifts. A slight touch of your brakes and you slid all over. It wasn't a typical icy road situation
I'm a trucker the thing is...ur brakes are useless they'll only make you slide....if you insist on driving in this ice rink be very careful actually manual transmission is safer then automatic transmission using gears as ur brakes ...slowing down ur engine rather then slowing ur tires...down shifting is a skill that can actually save ur life...
Have you ever experienced winter or blizzard?
wow, what a major mess! reminds me of when I was in a blizzard once trying to get to Alta UT from CA in 70’s and was almost there until for some unknown reason to me, my 66 stang went into a slow spin off of I-5 just after Provo ... thank GOD no other vehicles around!!! ... turned out that one of my tires had been punctured by a large nail! ... so staying home or delaying a trip moe bettah! ... (gosh back in those days, no cell phones either!) Hope no one lost their life here ... with many many blessings to the all the emergency crews!!! 💕💕💕💕
We had this same storm late Monday and Tuesday - Calgary Alberta. On our inter-provincial Hyw 1 most of the transport trucks parked. Smart!
Parked trucks on the side of highway is pretty dumb unless the road is completely closed to traffic. Hitting a parked semi is far worse than safely endingg up in a ditch.
Wide shoulder lane for vehicles to get over. Most were parked in roadside pull-out lanes. All this was on a very wide 4 lane highway. In 300 km I only saw < 12 light vehicles.
@@kellydrolet4740 I lived in Idaho and Minnesota. I would not want to be driving a big rig in a snowstorm in western AB, good choice by those drivers. MN near the Twin Cities is pretty flat and much easier to navigate in inclement weather.
"I can drive in this stuff ya shoor yu betcha!"
It's the other guy that's gonna getcha'!
No such thing as shoor. That's not a word.
@@armand-bk2vb ya, shoor!
Been driving in it all day finally shut down by iowa line cause 35 down theres been closed to due to pileup
Yeah, because no one in Minnesota has ever seen snow before.
Yesterday I was there,it was bad weather ❄️I thanks 🙏 to pass through safely
Oh JESUS!!! I'm so happy I live in the Sonoran Desert!!
Just got home, was super bad from Plymouth 169 down to Brooklyn Park, nothing but cars in ditches.......
Happy to hear you made it home safely
It's bad enough to have people stranded in the cold and injured, but I really feel bad for the first responders, too. Attending a crash in good weather is hard enough. This is brutal. Thanks heroes!
how do you "attend" a crash ?? like "attending" class ??
@@rhuephus Attend ~
1.
be present at (an event, meeting, or function).
2.
deal with.
You should read the dictionary. It has all the other books in it.
It is always this stretch of I-94 from Rogers to Monticello. Every big snowstorm there is a pile-up involving a semi. It never fails.
Dang that some rough weather!! I'm in south Texas and haven't seen much snow since 85 lol!
I'm sick and my kids are home because the school has no food. The church agency said I need papers for help. My little girl need medicine I can't get because I got no insurance. I'm American so I'm begging for some help because we need to go to court for the rent.
Moral of the story is drive faster and text while driving
Hallelujah
And when the Highway Patrol says "no travel advised " people keep traveling because what they have to do is way more important than being alive the next day
Sadly, there are those who would actually believe you.
Don’t forget your passenger aka, case of beer.
If a problem occurs the speed helps you get through the ditch.
My Condolences! God Bless the These People!
Prayers for all involved
Wow! That's the snow you stay at home unless you absolutely have to go out in!
It's more like rain turn to sleet then snow then poor visibility dropping temps quickly even going slow I was unable to stop in this mess we had. Thank God I was not on this road and I was going 5 mph it was so icy made it hard to stop
PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!! Also keep EMERGENCY and WINTER great on your car with you. Best to keep it in the front seat instead of the truck ( in case you get rear ended)! Extra jacket, blanket, warm socks, winter boots, gloves, hat, scarf, water, food ( just something to keep you got in case you're stuck there for a few hours, fire extinguisher, shovel, cat litter( if you're stuck)book, phone charger, phone, etc. MREs are pretty good and you can hear them up, nice to have warm food. Also toilet paper:) Ski googles come in handy also. Warning triangles. STAY SAFE and stay warm!!! Jumper cables. If you have kids, I suggest a whistle that each child keeps in their pocket or around their neck. I got a few at REI ( sound carries pretty good distance and with wind). Easy to get lost in white out conditions and you don't want frostbite or your kids turning into a popsicle:)
Oh ! For wen they innertubing down th shoulder of th freeway ! Gotcha !
Holy Moly, that’s epic ! I just hope there weren’t too many injuries. Slow down people, stay safe and be careful.
OK thanks Marlena!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Living near I-94 is scary! Coming from Otsego after working was just a mess (essential worker, had to work) Lots of cars on the ditches and on the sides of the roads. Ice and the rushing 65+ mph winds made my drive very uneasy. Took it very very slow. I took all back-ways home. Seeing I-94 in a standstill was enough for me to not go out after. Always drive with precaution and stay home if you can!
I feel like I’m outside hearing that strong gusty wind over my earphones..
Grandma ain't gonna be happy with your being late for Christmas . . .
I thought she got run over by a reindeer? Just ask me and grandpa! :)
🤣🤣🤣
Better to be late then Dead on time.
Prayers for all involved .. stay safe storm chaser prayers 🙏🏻
I know and understand what is happening to our world at this age. Be careful, stay alert, and know what we do and where we go. As our world is changing for the better, it is full of love, peace, and compassion.
Can we just fast forward to 2021 already
We'll all be wishing for 2020 it's going to be way way worse. Buckle up.
@@annahgibbus8 I was just going to type the same thing.
You can’t speed in these conditions. There’s no grip on the roads when you break.

Absolute Horror!
Wicked! Thankful for all those that helped.
Omg, drive slower people, or don't travel at all.
We had a massive dump of snow & hubs & some others were trying to unstuck a car in our neighbourhood. They were unsuccessful because they only had SUMMER tires on! Not even All Seasons! A guy told them that he was going to go get his 4x4 & tow road and after he gets them out they are to go home and stay there. Very impressive for a helper being so decisive. We live in an area that actually has snow & such every November to March/April. We get chinooks so it melts often but we still need winter/snow tires.
“Storm chasing” video turned into “staring at pileup wreckage” video.
Merry Christmas! Stay safe, stay warm
Prayers for everyone there 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🕯️
