Most of us here at Bait ‘N Switch are geographically situated in an area that gets pretty fuckin’ cold in the winter time. From time to time, we even get substantial amounts of powdery white stuff on our doorsteps (and no, I’m not talking about coke).
In fact, you must wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to live in such meteorological conditions. At the end of the day, you just have to assume that these areas are filled with people who were born here, because no one would choose this shit.
Now, let’s analyze why their are so many crashes on our highways and local roads. I’m not the world’s smartest man, but I consider a glazed road surface or even snow-covered streets as major indicators that maybe, just maybe, that shit be slick.
So, what gives? Why haven’t others learned that you can’t drive 45 MPH on an iced surface simply because the posted speed limit is 35 MPH. The things I have seen in the past week would blow your mind: cars in farmers’ fields, a jackknifed semi on an off-ramp, northbound cars stopped in a southbound lane, etc.

Actually, I see all of that in spring… and summer… and autumn…
Are you sure the weather is the problem? or just a convenient excuse?

Shiiiiit. These Bostonians love to talk about how Texans can’t drive on snow…which may be true. BUT, NOBODY can drive on ice. Not even a New Englandah.
