Video of the difficult driving conditions today in Little Rock. 7-10 inches of snow was reported around the area. Video includes multiple slide offs and accidents including a state trooper trying to use their vehicle to push a car up a on-ramp and vehicles tires spinning on slick roads. Sound byte from Kimberly Marks a nurse who was on her way home after a 20 hour shift and slid off the road on a on ramp that had multiple vehicles sliding around blocking the road. Also some shots around Little Rock including the capitol.

Love the lady's attitude in the car.........worked a double shift, and can't get home, but still a positive attitude.
Just a little friendly advice from someone who has lived in a northern state and a southern state.
1) Stay at home.
2) If you are an essential employee, try to get a ride with someone who has a high clearance 4WD vehicle, and is a safe and experienced driver.
3) If you are stuck in deep snow, the worst thing you can do is to hit the gas pedal and cause your drive wheels to spin.
This will only melt the snow, leaving water on top of ice or icy snow, and dig your wheels in deeper. Then you'll definitely need a tow.
4) Suggested technique that *may* help to free your vehicle if you are stuck on a hard surface, and not on an incline.
5) Carefully "rock" your vehicle, using less gas pedal pressure, going forward a little, then hold the vehicle with the brake pedal while switching to reverse. Then slightly back up, then hold the car still with the brakes, and shift to drive.
6) Have patience and don't overdo this because you can cause transmission problems if you do it too much.
7) Take a break if you're not making progress.
8) Don't panic.
9) Another very important rule is to keep your front wheels STRAIGHT. If the front wheels are turned even slightly, it's going to make it impossible to get traction.
Keeping front wheels straight will give you maximum traction, which is already very little. The more your drive wheels spin, the less traction you're going have. Snow gives some traction. Wet snow less. Ice: zero.
10) If you're going to have to wait it out in your car, do not keep the engine running constantly. Turn it on for 10 minutes with the heat on. Then turn off for 10 minutes. Keep a window cracked for fresh air. You don't want carbon monoxide to get into the car. It's an odorless gas that can kill you if it builds up in a closed vehicle.
Be safe everyone. We'll get through this big snow if we use our brains, be patient and help each other.
God bless.
If you’re stuck & do run your car for heat, make sure the exhaust pipe is cleared of snow so monoxide doesn’t back into the vehicle
@@13MAM13 🤣🤣🤣
Good stuff! Been there done that, huh? lol
Best thing to do when ur stuck in snow is to to turns the wheel left to right and give it gas , u might slowly creep out .... ( northern michigan trick )
forgot to mention... take your time to drivne in that weather instead of stomping on gas where you go to fast for the condition and cause wreck
Hey guys. I’m from LR. I feel horrible for the hospital staff who can’t get home. God bless you all. And thank you for everything that you do.
Yeah they got a place to sleep. And plenty of food.
Retired 2 years ago, worked in Little Rock. Don’t miss having to drive in bad weather.!!
It’s all clear now. I wouldn’t have got on I-430 like these people tho
@@Aristocratic13 .... 69 degrees at my house now.!!!
@@marywrigjt7614 mines too had to raise a window
the lady was awesome so cool hope she makes it home
Yea Frank. As you can see, she's in scrubs. Works in a hospital probably. Like she said she was stuck there over night. Probably when other shift couldn't make it in. She finally got a shot at going home. It sucks when Mother Nature says otherwise. I too hope she makes it home safe.
She was an idiot and had no business leaving the hospital alone, with no coat, no food or water and in her own car. Moron.
@@FeatheryBird Sorry dude. I understand where you are coming from & I'm not a moron. Neither is she. She just got off work from a 24 hour shift after working a back to back shift at a hospital, dude. Give her a break. She probably had to travel less than 10 miles to her home. I know about all the stuff you are suppose to have in your car to survive. As a seasoned over the road truck driver with over 30 years of experience, I too say where is this & where is that. When I was out on the road I was prepared at all times to sit in the truck, with out outside resources for at least 2 weeks. I had my food, port-a-potty, all kinds of entertainment stuff such as Vue Cube Satellite TV which gave me wireless cable & internet. Needless to say, all I had to do was sit there. This nurse was trying to get home, after working an extra shift after the last shift of workers failed to show up. Please Featherybird, have a little compassion and give her a break. She is working in a hospital.
@@philsmidwestclassiccars150 Phil, I like your name what is your role with classic cars, I am so sick of politics and try just to watch car shows and races, I have a 92 Caddy that I was hoping to go to shows but with 2020 be a totally waste it just sits in a garage coverup
@@FeatheryBird no my friend you are the judgemental privileged idiot, you know nothing of this lady but yet you feel compelled to call her names. it's a waste responded to you and now I regret it
I hope they have warm clothes with them and boots. I’m from Canada and that does not look good. Take it easy everybody and get home safely.
Canada. People in the Ark cannot drive in snow and ice conditions, because they don't have the skill or equipment like chains or studded snow tires. Snow is 6-8 inches deep with a layer of ice crystals under that...
I’m in Alaska and we always have our full Arctic gear in our vehicles along with keeping the tank full on long drives.
@@dennispfeifer7788 In many parts of Canada studded tires are illegal. Also, ice is the only condition they help with. Good winter tires are an absolute must.
@@Chris_at_Home Buffalo NY in the house, we never shy away from a little snow! Sledding and hot toddy's anyone?!
Anytime you have a bridge you will have ice b/c the bridge is colder. Its exposed to cold air on both top and bottom. Or those with 4x4's It's harder to stop than to start. Drive slow and be safe.
Must be ice under that snow or it's getting too deep to drive, I hope everyone can get home safely!
It's very thick ice.
Or all season tires without enough tread.
I live in LR, before the snow began yesterday we had about an hour of sleet.
@@mitch1348 nope. we have almost 2 inches of ice here in Tennessee and snow on top hiding it.
Yeppers, Ice under all the snow and on top of that snow then more ice and more snow 😳
The hospital I use to work for would send community volunteers with 4 wheel drive trucks to take hospital employees to and from work. The guys and their trucks were wonderful! There were always lots of volunteers. It worked out great.
Our Jeep group did that here until the hospital lawyers (who obviously get snow days) got all concerned about liability and banned it.
Trust me, those guys loved the opportunity to use their 4x4 in snow
That last clip,, if you can't see past the distance it would take you to stop.. you are following too close or going to fast.
Doesn't matter if you have AWD or 4WD, won't help you stop any faster in that stuff.
It’ll get you going lol which was the issue
@@Anonymous-lv1jm
If you have the right tires.. Sometimes. ;)
Managed to get my AWD stuck once, but that was because the snow was about 12" deep and my bumper was acting like a plow.. lol
I would not be out in that stuff, not even if my job depended on it !
@@thefrillyfarmhouse me as well. ID like to call off in the morning..😁
We live in this for 6 months a year, embrace it and enjoy it you don't get this very often.
@Akshay 004 mentally and physically weak people complain, just adapt to your surroundings and be happy.
@Temüjin Khan i'm going to do the same thing that has gotten me thru 70 years of my life....sit here on my a8s and not ever go out in that.🤣
the snow wasnt even predicted to start this early and ppl got stuck at work because of it
hey guys, I’m from lr arkansas and guys that week was so crazy the stores was empty, no bread no meat anything, people cars was breaking down, lights were flicking, online school was absolutely horrible, the snow was so deep but glad it’s over now and life is back to normal 😀
Facts lol I was stuck in my driveway for like a week 😂
-30 in Canada this morning , wife was out in the hot tub this afternoon,, had to put alittle air in the suv tire this afternoon,, a typical day in northen ontario
Ok?
Why do you guys keep saying this? The difference is the south doesn't have the infrastructure, plows or salt, experience, or equipment. You guys have thicker pipes and power lines, and everything I listed above that the south does not. This is not a joke. People are dying. Stop.
@@backg1672 I agree with you and I've been telling people the same thing. This is also a very unusual weather pattern for the south. I'm from Ontario Canada too but I'm not a jerk like some posters are.
@@backg1672 I know. It would be good for some to remember that being an experienced winter driver takes just that--experience. This is not the norm for that part of the country. I'm in the northern part of the country and I still hate driving in these conditions. Experience or not, it is just no fun for me. I can't imagine how unprepared some of these folks feel.
Great for you! We get a dusting of snow once every few years here in Texas. Not actual accumulation of ice an snow. It’s never this cold. We do not have the ability to clear streets.
Stay where yat! I couldn’t have said it better myself...
LOL
If you don't have 4 wheel drive or chains, why in the hell would you try and drive in weather such as this?
because a lot are dumbass
Because they still have to work. Healthcare. Jails. Sheriff's. Hello?
@@thepitchisours1495 ...AMEN!
That far south they're not that used to snow, plus a lot of southern states don't actually own much in the way of snow removal equipment. Salt spreaders either. I once lived in Dallas and witnessed a dump truck filled with salt, and three guys in the back hand shovelling salt out the back and over the sides. That was the best they could do that day, and there were hundreds of cars driving single-file right behind them, everybody doing about 10mph, LOL!
Because it’s Arkansas. It rarely snows there
This used to happen in Denver every January during the thaw, with ice keeping you from driving up the slightest slant.
@Alexander Freeman Learn to spell. . . .
yeah we having troubles in Texas too haven't seen this much snow in a long time i'm just staying home
It’s a blooming mess here in AR right now. NO road commission. No plowing of roads. No salt. No nothing. Pathetic! In MI the roads are kept cleared. That’s where a lot of our taxes went up there!
Where are you that you don't have plows. We have them in NWA and as for salt - keep that crap off the roads. It tears up concrete and rusts your car. The beet juice is far better. I went to town, zero problems.
Where do you get the part about Arkansas taxes going to The State of Michigan? Doesn’t make any sense!
Matilda Bishop you must be an idiot. I was talking about the taxes we used to pay when we LIVED in MI. AR taxes don’t go for shit! That’s what I meant! 🤦♀️
You idiots out there! I was referring to the taxes we paid when we lived in MI. GEEZ!
Yep. I used to drive truck from NW Ohio to Saginaw, MI every morning in similar weather and the roads were kept clear enough to drive it, maybe 40-45 mph but I always made it and back. Only white out would slow or stop us.
That’s normal snowfall in utah. Wouldn’t even bother to shovel driveway with that much snow just drive over it with snow tires. God bless all those affected.
Snow isn’t the problem. Arkansas gets its fair share of snow in the winter. It melts faster here and that’s the problem. No car is going to ride around on an ice cube
You need winter tires + AWD or 4WD set-up for this.
Arkansas hasn't had snow fall like this in 5 years. We never get light, fluffy snow. We always get the snow that just fucks up the roads. We finally get to make snow icecream again!
@@LikeigiveAFaboutU Snow ice cream is the best!
I think I'm the only one in the state with chains
Winter tyres makes a huge difference, if you don’t have them don’t drive in snow...... wait until summer ...😂
You need winter tires + AWD or 4WD set-up for this.
Chains are cheaper and easier to install.
@@Beantastrophe Indiana won’t let us use chains anymore. I have used them on a rear wheel drive car & could go anywhere in the snow/ice
Winter tires help and 4WD probably helps even more.
@@A10TOES that's right, and some don't allow studded tires.
To all the snow plow drivers; you are Heros during this overwhelming situation! May the Universe keep you safe .
Just knowing how bad it is, we ain't getting out 😳
So glad I left yesterday I was coming back from Missouri visiting my son now im back in Fort Polk god bless
I always carry a shovel, salt, food, chains/straps and water just in case.
Non-clumping kitty litter is better than salt. The weight of the car pushes it into the surface better for more grip more quickly. Also, the condensation in the trunk can cause some of the salt to dissolve in the air. That will eat a car from the inside out.
Yeah, that storm is coming my way tonite. I'll be up at 3am to plow. Looks like fun.
well be careful out there....and keep your lights clean so people can see ya....take some cool music and hot coffee to keep you Rockin
@@StephenZ827
Thanks. Oh yeah coffee is a must, John Wayne style, no sugar no cream.
I'm a Vermonster, if I had tracks on my truck, it'd be a blast! But I've only got Goodyear winters so I've gotta remain professional 😅
@@beardedroofer In Va here, east coaster...fog is moving in and no snow. JUst shaking my head at some of these drivers...un freakin real these people are allowed behind a wheel in even good weather. No light on, spinning tires like that's going to get somewhere.....back windows covered in snow...You know they don;t have extra gas...no blankets....got to piss. and headed up a hill....ding bats
@@StephenZ827
Hey you are absolutely right.
I'm in Roanoke Virginia.
It should be legal to smack stupid drivers upside their heads.
Hey Mr. Plow that's my name it is Mr.Plow!
This has to be the worst winter Ever !!
Ribbit
Here in Arkansas?? Oh hell no. I’m just happy we don’t have to deal with sleet knocking the power out
@@blackconclave1962 agreed I love the snow it feels like winter and it’s the most we got in like 10 years almost!
Military Weather Warfare!!!
@@spacestarkid28 Welfare
it almost seems like no one believe in the weather people.
yes, never fails
Our weather people says it was passable last Friday but I got stuck in the ice anyway. They only talk about the interstates not secondary roads. I'm 7 miles to any interstate
@@tammmygraves4317 Dr. Forbes from the Weather Channel talked about this same scenario like a week and a half ago. The city managers should have know it was coming & made better preparations for it. Tammy the ultimate responsibility on safe travel is the travelers themselves. If it is 27* outside & raining, you shouldn't need someone to tell you to watch out for ice. That should come natural. I do understand that you folks in Texas are not used to this type of weather. If you can not safely walk around outside, how are you suppose to drive in it. As an over the road truck driver, I have had many experiences with icy conditions. The best you can do if it is in the forecast is stay home. As you can see by the big accident on I-35, you can be safely stopped & sitting there & someone not paying attention to what's going on around them will come along and wham-O. Stay safe Tammy.
@@philsmidwestclassiccars150 Hi Again Phil. Did you say city managers ??? Here where I am this is annexed in the city but nothing is done on the roads
I hope everyone is safe and warm
I'm from Alaska living in Tennessee I have dealt with worse my wife n I will be good. But y'all be safe out there really
Hello Montreal 🇨🇦Canada. Be safe in Little Rock y’all. I miss the Natural beautiful Arkansas i lived in north little rock for 15 years my old home USA 🇺🇸
This is tough, I just feel sorry for the states that have never seen this type of weather before with the snow, ice, & extremely low temperatures, we're use to this in Jersey.
Don't exaggerate this is extreme even for Jersey my homestate! Dude this is an inch of ice after two days of sub freezing temps then covered on day three and four with two inches or more of more ice and snow, I've never seen this in 15 years in the South, or all my years in Jersey. Nothing. It's a disaster.
@@FeatheryBird Yeah I know someone who lives down there, I can't imagine what it's like, I remember hurricane Sandy a few years ago left me without power for 11 days so I know what that's like but weather wise you guys are in another zone for sure. I hope it gets better
Good Morning I’m from Houston Texas and mannn lookahere it’s bad here but look 👀 at this video makes me so grateful.... Prayers too ALL 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We have seen this type of weather in Arkansas many times and how would you no you don't live here and some places got a little over 24 inches of snow here in Arkansas that's a lot anywhere and look it up Arkansas has seen bigger winter storms than this in years past I live in north Arkansas where we usually get snow several times a year we went through a bit of a snow drought in past few years but this years we have had several snows in northern Arkansas so what are you talking about but according to you we have never seen snow before yeah sure and it snows quite often in the mountains in Arkansas in the winter when it don't everywhere else in the southern part of the state it is a little more rare but yes we have all seen snow and extreme cold several times in Arkansas and the south look it up some of the major winter storms we have had in the past nothing new.
@@marknewman636 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I live in the North and know enough that when bad weather is called for I'm at home. If you're in the South you should know better.
How should they know better? They rarely get this kind of weather and don't truly understand the severity of it just like we can't truly understand the severity of a hurricane. I'm from Ontario Canada and can fully understand how this caught them off guard. Have a little compassion and understanding for this unique situation!
Hope those ladies got home safe . They had a good attitude about everything .
I love driving in this weather with my jacked up 4x4, but i also go out and help people stuck in the snow.
Sending healing vibes and positive energy to all currently dealing with this. I pray everyone made it home safely. Hopefully everyone has heat and food during this time. Stay safe. Stay home if possible.
@In_The_Kitchen_With_Katie
You win the award for the most charitable comment on this comment section.
It's really bad when all some people can do is criticize, make sarcastic jokes and call people names. That's what's bad about the internet: no accountability for one's words.
God bless.
People, keep a sturdy shovel, some Bags of potting soil (dirt) or salt if you can, or cardboard = something that can give traction to your car tires if you get stuck in the snow. Please stay warm, have extra dry/warm clothes (especially Socks) and Gloves for emergencies in your vehicle and blankets, snacks and of course water. Better safe than sorry. Tips from New Jersey Girl!
Some candles as well. And kitty litter works well. I lived in Colorado and kept a emergency stash of exactly what you said, plus a little more. Always better to have some emergency items year around.
Roger that NJ girl. Ne. man here. LOL
Do you guys have to borrow the plow trucks from other (northern) states?
If your stuck don't spin your tires rock your car back and forth but don't spin your tires . Also don't slam on the brakes. If you slam on your brakes you slide. If you loose control pump your brakes. Don't push them to the floor.
Don’t pump your brakes. Anti-lock braking system applies your brakes with out your assistance. No one in Canada pumps their brakes.
Hello everyone! The conditions are difficult, as it is every winter. Did you know that there is a way to change the traction of tires? Make your trip easier, and enjoy the snow!👍
No, I didn't know that. How?
@@stevethomasthomas5598 At low pressure, the tire contact increases, this gives more traction to the tire. It can be easily checked.
This is why people freeze to death!
I pray for all of you and your family and friends are safe. May God bless you and everyone of you.
Humility... is VERY attractive! See how it works? It works goooooood!
This is cold comfort to us in northern Illinois with about 2 feet of snow on the ground and temperatures around 0. But at least we have snow plows.
I've been to LR and Hot Springs a few times, both are pretty awesome.
Where are all the snow plows? I assume in Northwest Arkansas.
None that I've seen. I'm in NW Ark and haven't seen a one either yesterday or today.
I'm out of corning Ar. No plows here I seen an old man on a road grader go through town that was it yep our tax dollars hard at work lol....
Just saw a plow at 316.that may be the only one they have
@@wendylinkem6201 yeah showing our tax dollars hard at work lol.....
@@alexblair9047 yes but unless you're heading east towards Piggott or north to Poplar Bluff through the Crowley's Ridge Hills, it's flat terrain - a good man driving that grader with the proper angle on the blade is worth his weight in gold!
We got similar storm in '89. I had just paid $300 for a '68 Corolla and woke up to a foot of snow 4 o'clock one morning. It got me to work no problem, even plowing past some stuck trucks. Those that showed up to work got a $100 bonus that day.
I still have the car. I guess I need to take it for an "anniversary" ride around the block.
Glad I live in the mountains of Colorado. We deal with these conditions regularly.
I had a 2WD sedan and drove into unimaginable weather right here in buffalo NY, it's a few tricks if u know it u will be mostly safe.
Keep ur car full , never below half , forget about break , steady speed not fast nor slow and stay on main roads . Lastly keep blanket, lil shovel n gloves in ur truck n NEVER panic
I'm from North Little Rock and live in Little Rock. The state is more or less shut down for the next week. Ask me anything
My little toyota wont stand a chance. I didnt work today my car tires are buried in snow I'm going to work in the morning but I got me a ride from my coworker I'm not driving in that mess .. little rock arkansas
toyota is GARBAGE
I’m in Florida and this doesn’t seem real to me. Be safe everyone, drive with caution.
Florida could be next soon if they act on GEO engineering.
Spinning your tires makes ice under your tires. Don't spin your tires. Turn off your radio ,role down you window and listen to your tires. If your tires are spinning you are loosing traction.
I was in little Rock Arkansas my self i saw soo many Accidents... Truck Driving is a Sacrifice .... God bless and Protect all Truckers Out there
Oh my gosh please be safe every one
December 16, 1944...the German Attack in weather like this...hospital staff should have stayed at the hospital and soaked up all that OT, because other shift can't make it...it's not getting about freezing for another 4-5 days in LR.
Praying for everyone
Got dang bear the snow we get in Wisconsin. I’m glad I did a road trip before all this snow, Little Rock is where my great grannies are from.
I was in Little Rock on that day driving Uber in my Subaru Outback. I did not have any trouble going wherever I needed to go. I was driving all through the hilly parts of town.
I’d like to see your vehicle and the way it’s set up
I live in Washington state where this is very normal for winter. My grandparents were from Arkansas and would have never believed this could happen in their homestate. They lived here in Washington most of their married lives so were used to it here, but this would have really shocked them!
Happens here in Alberta from October to April. Good luck everyone,,,,BE SAFE. If problems on a hiway, stay in your vehicle!!!!! Others have problems as well and will slide over/into you. Wait for help.
Northerners tend to ignore southern reality. In the southern states that get maybe at most a week of snow and ice on the roads, days instead of months, the governments do NOT invest in a fleet of snow plows or salt. The auto and tire stores do NOT stock up on snow tires or chains. These cars are driving on snow and ice that have not and will not be plowed or salted. Those that have landscaping and lawn mowing businesses do NOT invest or do any snow plowing of parking lots or residential streets. At best the small towns and counties may drop some sand on bridges and at stop light intersections which will most likely be blown away by gusting winds within minutes. While traffic will wear down the ice on major roads, parking lots and residential streets will remain icy until the ice and snow melts...
I hope everyone makes home safely. Prayers for safety to all out there.
Just a note. RWD cars aren't for snow.
Apparently, neither are FWDs!
I'm a healthcare worker and I was stuck at my place of employment for 5 days before I could get home.
1:07 Arkansas is getting so much snow for this far South fun fact Little Rock Arkansas is just above the 34th parallel North which is at the same latitude is Kabul in Afghanistan and Kabul Afghanistan is a desert and you normally don't see snow in a desert and I live near the 47th parallel North
I live in Missouri and this ocassionally happens here, When you have ice and then snow covers it you have a worse case scenario. Even though we have a degree of preparedness here it's not worth much in those conditions, it can be done and I do because my jobs requires that I be able to respond but I have years of experience and preparedness. I never realized how many little things we/I do in the way of preparing until I read here of people in this situation that are not and why would you, like I have a snow blower that sits for years on end without enough snow to run it, they probably don't even sell them there,,and why would they. You have it worse there than we do here currently, it's been really cold but the majority is comfortable, I wish you all luck and if you need any more capitan obvious remarks or advice,, scroll down! 😂
Winter storms don't happen in Little Rock often. When they do occur, this is the result. Once every 3-4 years, a big winter storm does happen. We get through it the best we can.
Sucks to live in the south. We Yankees play in this stuff, with our cars too.
HINT: we go to vacant mall parking lots in this kind of weather and learned how to navigate through this, this is nothing.
Beautiful winter weather
I actually went to Arkansas just like a day ago, we had bad luck and skidded twice :/ I feel bad for the people there driving on them snowy/iced up roads
That is why I now only buy 'All-Weather' tires for my vehicles. 'All-Weather' tires are winter tires that can withstand the heat of summer driving, so you can leave them on all year long, and they perform as well as all-season tires in the heat and wet of summer.
I prefer 2 sets. One winter only
I live in fargo and I use all weather on my 01 altima ,never get stuck
Looks like mr copper is having some trouble driving in the snow too lol😆👍
we live like this all the time, we have experience of several thousand years, we could teach you to cope with it. my support for the victims.
What kind of vehicle do you have to be driving so fast!? Kudos! 👍🏼
Roll back
Me and my Subaru are praying for weather like this.
Hope you get your wish, have fun!
Me and my wife was coming back from Texas 15 years ago headed back to west virginia and they had a freak snow storm freeways were a mess semis and cars were in ditches and everything back then there was only one snow plow for every 50 square miles vehicles were only crawling on interstate took 2 days to go only 40 or 50 miles
Reminds me of England...normal winter weather...don't miss it at all. Hope everyone got to their destinations safely.
Little worse than we got here in OKC.
Be careful this weather is unforgiving. Sending prayers.
Im from Illinois and when i moved to Arkansas i was shocked that they shut down the city from just a little snow. I got stuck at work for a few days but it was cool. But im use to real snow seeing I was raised in Minnesota and Illinois. My spiritual mother lives in ark and shes happy to see snow. Im like wow 😂 i like it but not the freezing temps so I pray that everyone is safe and warm. An please dont keep your pets outside they need shelter as well. God bless
All season tires are truly useless even on all wheel drive SUV's.
Thats not true really, all season tires do help but snow tires work even better. I know this for a fact because ive had both. Now if youre trying to drive on pure ice or several feet of snow you still need to be careful but having a good set of tires is better than having bald crappy tires that are like 5 years old or something lol
Yep buck shot tires
@Alaska Automotive I wonder if Arkansas stores even carry those tires. As little as it snows in Arkansas, much less these conditions, it is unlikely people would invest in snow tires.
I don't care what anyone says snow is awful to drive in. Especially if you are not used to it.
We had the same here in Kansas except it's been so cold we didn't get any ice, just powder snow. If you have good all season tires and all wheel or front wheel drive you shouldn't have much problem getting around....if you know how to drive in it. If not, stay home.
Locals be like: WTF is this? We don't have plowing equipment for these roads!!
A government will make the investment for snow plows for a few months of snow, not for a few days. And therein lies the problem, the south does not make that investment. Arkansas is NOT, I repeat NOT, Ontario...
Yeah I got out today went to store seen are roads all snowed in but wher are the snow plows hiding I pray for all that half to travel to our troopers be safe God bless
I live in little rock. Was getting around fine in the side by side delivering supplies to neighbors
I am a truck driver please be careful in those areas I was there when there was an ice storm and it as so bad. I made it safe and sound but there are a lot of stupid truck drivers that are still speeding even though it’s snowing,freezing and foggy. Someone was gonna almost hit me in Texas when all the traffic got a complete stop because he was going way over then he was supposed to. Steering wheel holders are very dangerous God bless those innocent people🙏
well don't forget to keep those backlights clean when you can...I sit shaking my head how people clean one hole on the front....never turn on their lights and just think to go fast is a solution....
By midland-Odessa by any chance?
Wow. Good job 1 car. If you don’t have snow tires, don’t drive in the snow!
What about all terrain tires?
The rear wheel drive pushing the front wheel drive 🤦♀️
You need winter tires + AWD or 4WD set-up for this.
Gotta have love for California and Miami
Nothing new here 🤔
This is my typical winter life and I love it. Seriously, though, be safe in these conditions
lived in Witts Springs a couple of years wonder what Marshall looks like
Hey were supposed to get the white stuff in Minnesota. Send it up here. Maybe 4 inches on the ground, in north central market
Please be safe. I'm a truck driver and I knew just to stay put. It's pretty wild out there today. Thank goodness it's a holiday
It's a holiday I didn't know that because I don't keep up with anything
@@garagelife684 It's president's day today
@@michaelnobles2643 Oh I was wondering why my mom's boyfriend was at home, and not at work
Biden and Kerry said the planet is getting warming. Good one.
Then they changed it to climate change a few years back because they knew people would be questioning all the cold still happening
I’d like to point out that the planet is much larger than the U.S. and people only make these ridiculous comments during the winter but complain about the heat all summer.
Seems to me Somebody needs a lesson or two about Climate Change ..!!
the planet has been getting warmer for thousands of years. The U.S. used to be covered in glacial ice. The last glaciers receded a little over 13,000 years ago. We're lucky that planet Earth maintains it's delicate rotation around the Sun or we could easily burn up or freeze. So your little insult to Biden & Kerry makes your comment seem rather immature, and hostile.
Look at that snow covered LED light bar, is that progress? .. bring back the old hot sealed beams, they'd melt that snow.
Thank Trump for executive action to fix our lousy toilets and shower heads. He unfortunately didn't get around to fixing the gas cans or the frozen traffic lights.
@@jimkirby9959 yeah well it looks like he apparently solved global warming though.
My 2020 Honda Pilot awd would of ATE that up!!!! Like a boss with all season... because I just recently did it for FUN! Just this passing Saturday..
You need winter tires + AWD or 4WD set-up for this.
God of mercy bless and protect all your creation in the name of our lord jesuschrist
Southerners and snow, always fun to watch.
I used to Drive OTR in an 18 wheeler, and when it gets That Bad, I Immediately Shut It Down to keep myself and Everyone else Safe!
People in warm countries better not complain is too hot cuz I've had to drive through storms like that like i made it home
Up here in Saskatchewan Canada we're experiencing Artic temperatures but it's not snowing much. We should be sending our snowplows down there for a few days to help out.
No need for plows here in arkansas. Sat. High temp is in 50s lows in the 40s. Farenhight, it will all be melted by Monday. We don't prepare much for this weather cause is doesn't happen often and doesn't last long
