On February 21st, 1971, an intense winter storm crossed the Southern Plains buried Southern Kansas with 10-13 inches of snow. The storm packed such a terrific punch, that gusty north-northeast winds 25-40 mph produced near zero visibility bringing a large portion of Southern Kansas to a standstill. I was in Wichita when this snow fell. WSU was closed for 3 days and the snow in front of our front door was to the roof of our house.

@2:11, passing a snow plow/salt/sand truck in action? Huh, are you kidding me? Unless I missed something, isn't one to follow behind safely keeping at least 100ft distance?
Not justifying, but almost ALL late model vehicles have dash lights activated photo sensor instead of headlamp switch. This, plus the Daylight Running Lamps provide drivers with false impression headlamps/taillamps are activated. Again no excuse since driver is responsible, but IMHO, an engineering blunder for many years.. just saying.
I don't go out in the snow now because on the east coast they put that salt brine crap on the roads which rusts out your car/truck relentlessly, I had to drive my new truck in the snow last week and took the powerwasher to the frame at like 11 pm neighbors weren't too happy but I'm not having my new truck rotted out
If you're not used to driving in snow even a few inches can be tricky, especially without winter tires. We had 30 cm/12" today, pretty normal for this part of Canada.
All I know is that Wichita used to get snowstorms annually of 8 inches or more when I was little. And several of them per year. Ten years later give or take, this amount is almost unheard of. The crazy part is how much our weather has changed.
Here in Kansas they don’t clear anything except the few main roads...then had out tickets if you slide off the road...gotta save money and make money at the same time
Have these people ever driven in the snow? I drove tractor trailers in upstate New York. I live in Florida now and watch RUclips. Have good tires, slow down and if you can, stay home. 🤪
@@seifenraspel2382 one tire dealer asked me this one time "why does people pay all kinds of money on extras in the car ,and only wants to pay as little as possible on the tires, when the only thing that keeps you and your famely safe on the road are four spots the size of your palms made by your tires,wouldent you want those four spots to be as good as possible"......... i guess you know my answer to this, and those words has stuck with me ever since...
I just love it! I dont eat dinner or much food these winters cuz i like to stay in and watch these cold vids! 😍😃 by eating once i can only poo once in 48 hours! 😁
Speed must be regulated to conditions (takes experience). Have driven ice/snow roads for many years, a fine line/art. It requires just enough speed to maintain forward momentum, recall Physical Science in High School. Too much can induce loss of control and eliminate safe spin/skid recovery. Too little reduces necessary inertia to "slide" up/across zero traction surfaces (ice). Brakes (resistance) are NOT your best friend, unless you have enhanced traction devices (chains/cables, studded tires, etc.) attached to driving wheels. Even with ETDs, imagine a full carton of eggs between your brake pedal and the floor. Each time you press down, don't "brake" the eggs. Insight, inertia, gravity and prayer are the main players during extreme winter driving. Stay safe Kansas.

Not unless specificaly marked.
How stupid can they be? This weather and driving without lights ... licenses found in cornflakes packages?
I know right.
It should be legal to smack stupid people upside their heads.

This is Kansas so Corn Fields are probably where they got it from
And no winter tires too...

HAPPY NEW YEAR . Best wishes to you and your family .
Awe 2:03 thru 2:12 that's my area Cross Streets Corner s.. Oh and 13th & Zoo Blvd. I grew up in that area.. Great Job Man Videos..💯👍
Do they not know what tire chains are?

Where is the record breaking snow at??
In alpine, Texas!! I got 2-4 ft of it. Gorgeous.
@@Sabbathissaturday now thats a snow !! Yal be safe n stay warm n eat plenty of good food lol
Thanks for location. This is normal for the area?

happy new year ❤️
lol,ya that's like every other day here in N. Michigan ! 6" is just a dusting
Record breaking? Even in north Texas we’ve gotten over 12” of snow before
a real nightmare in the road is where you are on the middle of no where.and no one is orund thas a nightmare. Ayou are Lucky to have people around.
The car wizard must love this...
Many cars with problems. Let me guess. Hankook tires failed?
Here in Kansas they don’t clear anything except the few main roads...then had out tickets if you slide off the road...gotta save money and make money at the same time
Me living in a Texan desert where it nearly even rains.
Hi from Albuquerque 🤣
I'm glad my family avoided this during their back and forth travels. Such a headache..
They shouldn't have been traveling anyway.
@@SagebrushRambles I agree, I was upset about my mother inlaw pushing for it so hard
We call that a light dusting of snow here in Pa
Exactly!
This is hardly a record breaking snow for Wichita, much less Kansas. It was just a dusting. SLOW DOWN!!!
His girlfriend truck ? Go say it figures! His vehicle probably in her garage at her house 🏡 😂
Lol, right where it should be
No he probably doesn't have a license😂
😆 That's my Girlfriend Truck, yeah right ! Maybe No DL or Insurance..
Have these people ever driven in the snow? I drove tractor trailers in upstate New York. I live in Florida now and watch RUclips. Have good tires, slow down and if you can, stay home. 🤪
Well, but with summer tires (or "baldy" winter tires) you can't hold your car in lane.

i'd hate to be an instacart driver or uber driver in this weather
People don't have their lights on. 😡
Gee... Snow in Kansas
How unthinkable 😄
Yet all the idiots with all season tires and 2wd out and about
People here act like the deep south when it comes to snow. 🤣And snowstorms here didn't used to be so rare.
Oh what fun it is to drive a 2 wheel drive car in snow ....... Ho Ho Ho ...
So much fun .... better thee than me ....
For me this isnot a nightmare.
