Essential workers aside, who would drive in this mess? Folks need to stay home for Christ sake. All of those trucks should be parked somewhere until everything subsides. Insane.
The issue is mostly caused by employers... they demand ppl to show up else they get fired and others dont get paid if they dont show up. Both versions come down to the same thing that ppl cant afford to miss any pay day because it would mean they cant pay all the bills and have money left for food/gas. And you also have the standard idiots that will think its all overexaggerated...
I agree but 75 is a north south highway going through 6 states. It starts in Michigan and goes to Florida. I bet a lot of these cars and trucks were out of towners or essential workers.
This can happen as it is winter you know. We always prepare in the fall every year just in case. People should stay off the roads for nonessential jobs and such. If the 'boss' has a problem with this tell him or her to pick you up on the way in. You won't be picked up because he or she has no intention of going in. I did this everytime.
You really gotta tip your hat to the cops, firemen, tow truck drivers, roadside assistance, and the plows. We get to choose to take a sick day and not drive in these conditions. They don’t….
this is so crazy im in rochester ny where we often see this but we have yet to get the big one but its deadly cold and this is the route i travel going home to alabama got caught in this ONCE! coming back to NY but never again. from cincinnati i still got 8 hours of road time in good conditions i learned my lesson and listen to my weather man
Wrong tires people, all season don’t work on anything more than a couple of inches if that. Please stay home if u down have proper snow tires or it’s icy period
Ok everybody here’s the storm we’ve been warning you about for days. it’s about to start snowing really really hard so let’s all get in our cars and go drive the freeway….😂
@agcphyrdup7656 lol. You get a cookie! I am not risky life for a job. Never worked for someone so heartless who would make me take that chance! Free country. People can't get to your Mc Donald's anyway. Stay home.
Im not the person that made this video but my guess is he has winter tires on his pickup and 4 wheel drive. A real actual winter tire makes all the difference in the world. The cars on the side spinning most likely just have an all season tire with hard rubber compound . A winter tire is a softer rubber with specific grooves cut in them so the rubber can flex ,therefore provide traction on snow and ice. I have winter tires on their own set of rims and just swap out my rims and tire for the winter months and then pit my original rims and tires back on in spring. You would be surprised at just how much better the traction is even on ice. My driveway is a half mile long and stepp at the end , it can be a solid sheet of ice at the end and I can stop on it and then pull out without even spinning my tires in a front wheel drive car. The combination of winter tires , traction control on a newer car you can virtually go anywhere under all kinds of conditions with no problem. Some extra weight in the car also helps. A light vehicle will do poorly in deeper snow
@@mikewasko4964 its why here in Europe at certain countries/areas that are known for their snow etc that they have laws for what tires you can use during the winter season and that you must have snowchains with you. I think it was like a $400+ fine in Norway if you get stranded with wrong tires and/or no snowchains in an area where they are mandated.
The county declared a level 2 snow emergency. Should've been a level 3. My mother who grew up in Northern Indiana is the one who taught me how to drive, so generally in winter weather I'm okay, even in cars that people might think aren't really suitable. Hell, I lived in Colorado for 10 years with a RWD Chevy Tracker. Got around just fine. I wanted nothing to do with this one.
Plenty of places around Cincinnati that got a foot or close to it. These early highway scenes are within the city limits, some of those close to where I live, and we did get 10 to 12 in.
No, that's why regular people with regular jobs need to stay home. Everyone knew it was going to he bad or could possibly be bad and chose to go out anyway.
Thanks for showering this if people would put chains on this stuff would not happen and if people would not go out and drive that would help but people don't youse there brains
День назад+2
At the end of the video, did one guy spit at you as you drove by?
I don't understand why I don't see any snowplows out prior to the snow starting? No one has their chains or spikes on. When I was a kid the roads were already being salted before it got bad??? Grandpa is shaking his head in his grave.
Given the price of the fire engine under the bridge rather surprised they did not spec it for auto-chains or at least equip it with regular tire chains before the storm,
I'm amazed by this bad problem 😭 poor people, all we can do is pray 🙏🏻 in California we don't have that problem. God Bless you all Northern East of U.S.😢
This is how stupid people are! What did you guys think would happen when driving in snow with summer tires! No one should be rescued, stay off the roads!
Maybe next time when the motorists are warned about a snowstorm coming their way they should stock up on lots of water and food and thermal clothing including thermal blankets and stay in their homes or a hotel or motel or some other place if they have enough money or stay with a friend or relative that they had visited and drive away when the roads have been cleared of snow and ice.
Nice To know what some of these Hiways were or state Routes ........................ But Heck Of A Video ..................... Have Cousins Near Mason ohio
I mean flash floods are one thing coming out of nowhere....but these ppl are just ridiculous who drive around with rear wheel drive and all season tires. It's just stupidity
I-a luat iarna pe nepregătite pe toți! În Cincinnati Ohio, nu s-a auzit de lanțuri pentru cauciucuri ? Trebuie să fi copac, să ieși cu masina pe drumuri ca acestea și sa nu fie masina echipată corespunzător.
Maybe they should have closed the roads... esp. the highways .. until the snow and ice stops? Oh wait, they are closed, according to what this video shows.
We went 275 W to get back to Mason from CVG and the roads were shit in Ky and then CLEAR in Indiana and then right back to shit in Ohio. No reason Ohio and Kentucky couldnt have done the same. Shameful
@@Hagaroo47I mean, the road conditions in Kentucky and Ohio were horrible! They had time to prepare, they knew this storm was coming. The roads should have been better taken care of.
It snowed for two straight days and they literally could not keep up with it. I'm sure they were all exhausted. Local people did stay home. People driving from south to north got stuck
I understand this semi trucks on the expressway. That is their job They truck stuff from one of the country to the other and sometimes I get caught in snow storms. What about all the four wheelers out there why? If you don't need to be on the road don't go on the road. You're not proving anything. I'm just jealous we're up here in Michigan getting nothing I absolutely ridiculous. Oh and by the way if you got an all-wheel drive car or a front wheel drive car or if you're new to a pickup truck make sure you turn your traction control off. You start spending your tires and your traction control puts the brakes on That's why when you're a little bit stuck and you can't figure out why you can't get out well there you go. Oh and by the way if you're in a pickup truck you got it in four high push that traction button and hold it until it says on the dash that stabilitrac and traction control is off then you can go to donuts and four-wheel drive unbelievable amount of fun. Please do it in the parking lot that there's no one around We wouldn't want to hurt anybody now would we. Little thought from an old man in Michigan.
I hear you say "jobs magically disappear when there is bad weather. No bosses to threaten you with being fired." Also, winter tires don't make a car invincible. Every car on the planet could have winter tires and we would still get to watch these videos on RUclips with people in the comments screaming "Winter tires!!!!"
6:47 omg this car literally is a accident in waiting.. those tires alone.. I am so sorry whatever was that important that had them risk their lives and potentially others to be out driving that vehicle in those conditions.
Lord protect the truckers and everyone who had to work in these conditions please keep them safe and warm help them to get home.
Pray for nature threatened by humans, too.
Pray that god watches RUclips
I don't think Lord Voldemort cares.
I was always told the Good Lord looks after drunks, children, old people and the insane…that should cover about half of ‘em.
Thank you for risking your safety to show us these conditions.
Prayers for everyone

The issue is mostly caused by employers... they demand ppl to show up else they get fired and others dont get paid if they dont show up.

And you also have the standard idiots that will think its all overexaggerated...
I agree.But they could be carrying essentials for the shops like food ect
So truckers aren't essential workers? You're nominated for the Darwin award.
I agree but 75 is a north south highway going through 6 states. It starts in Michigan and goes to Florida. I bet a lot of these cars and trucks were out of towners or essential workers.
Yes, that is entirely possible.
Wow, didn't see any of this on our local news channels. Nothing. Great job in filming this, & uploading. Y'all stay safe & warm.
Snow started falling around 11am on Sunday. Didn't end until around 3:30 today. Cincinnati doesn't see snow like this but once every 10 years.
it was 1977 the last time it snowed like this and even that was less than what fell on 6 January
Not even that often.
I can’t imagine being caught in such a storm. Kudos to those brave souls documenting this

It’s even worse because 99% of the ppl they have to help don’t need to be on the roads!
this is so crazy im in rochester ny where we often see this but we have yet to get the big one but its deadly cold and this is the route i travel going home to alabama got caught in this ONCE! coming back to NY but never again. from cincinnati i still got 8 hours of road time in good conditions i learned my lesson and listen to my weather man
So no one watched news in the past couple days and no one learned anything from KS/MO weather issues that ended up eastward?!...WTH folks!
You got people out there who are told they will be fired if they don't show up. People can't afford that.
Wow, making Minnesota look great right now. Prays everyone is ok. From Frozen tundra Minnesota.
There's no snow in MN now or any last winter. Not great. Maybe pray for nature beleaguered by humans.
@tonymnQuan We need snow. Insulation for wells, septic tank pipes, and to keep soil from blowing. Agreed, we need some snow.
@@tonymnQuan Given the size of the state that is a rather bold statement, perhaps it might be true in your area.
Awesome footage man
Wrong tires people, all season don’t work on anything more than a couple of inches if that. Please stay home if u down have proper snow tires or it’s icy period
That dude in the mustang really 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok everybody here’s the storm we’ve been warning you about for days. it’s about to start snowing really really hard so let’s all get in our cars and go drive the freeway….😂
Why r people stupid? Lol. The snow didn't just fall all at once! Get off the roads before it gets bad. Wtf. 😂
Some people unfortunately have no choice.
Man you didn't have to tell everyone you're unemployed like that.
@agcphyrdup7656 lol. You get a cookie! I am not risky life for a job. Never worked for someone so heartless who would make me take that chance! Free country. People can't get to your Mc Donald's anyway. Stay home.
@Eds518 yes, they are called public servants. Hospital, rescue, police. No excuse for the rest. This country is so backwards.
Hope that everbody is safe warm and well espedcially the old and disabled.
Nobody carries shovels or winter clothing anymore. We'll just wait here for help to come to us!!
This reminds me of the blizzard of 77-78, I was 10-12 yrs old🥶❄️
Yep guess we had Climate change long ago.
Great footage! How you getting around so easy in this snow?

Wow! Looks really cold, what if you’re low on petrol, how to keep warm?
The fact that this is a highway is just ridiculous... we knew about this snow storm a whole week ahead, why is this highway like this
I don't think they have the equipment to handle this much snow like many of the northern cities do.
Thanks for showering this if people would put chains on this stuff would not happen and if people would not go out and drive that would help but people don't youse there brains
