[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, more people should have listened to the weather forecast and stayed off the road. Pre-treatment applications aren't designed to accommodate near regular traffic flows through a winter storm. It was snowing too heavily and there were too many cars/trucks on the road. It only took a few tractor trailer spinouts for chaos to ensue.[/quote] This. Plus, this was a mess all the way into DC - people couldn't make it up the incline of the exit to 210 (I think?) near DC. Then it's just a chain reaction, plows can't get through and everyone is stuck.[/quote] +1 There were just too many people on the road, and it was clear early on that the snow was heavy. It only takes one or two accidents and there's not much anyone can do to resolve it quickly. I honestly don't know why so many people were out -- the schools were all closed, the federal government was closed, I'm sure many other offices who follow the feds were closed, too -- what were all those people doing? [b]Everyone knows that Virginia isn't used to handling that kind of snowstorm because it's not common[/b]. [/quote] No dear, “everyone” doesn’t know this. Some of us are smart enough to understand that as the climate changes and the planet gets hotter and hotter, that snowstorms like this will be more and more common because of all the added moisture in the atmosphere. And Virginia just elected a guy who has promised policies that will make the planet even hotter. So I hope you like snowstorms like this. There will be a lot more in the future. [/quote]
