What I learned from that video is everyone from Utah is stupid.

If you're from Utah and you're reading this, I'm sorry you have such a hard time realizing that snow and ice are more slippery than dry tarmac.

I was going to say it looked like a bunch of Texas drivers moved to Utah.

Does it not snow very often there or just not as much as this year? That's some slick street you got there.

Looking at the video, I think it's a bit deceiving -- there appears to be a bit of a hill that they are slip/sliding down.  Still I'm betting there was some freezing rain before it switched to snow.

Heck, winter driving used to be much more fun with rear wheel drive vehicles. Can't beat foofing!!.

I can remember my Dad cursing up a storm as he put chains on the Packard. Every fall the snow tires went on, spring they came off. We seemed to get by just fine without 4wd and front drive though.

Rear wheel snow driving can be a blast!

What amazes me is that the local police didn't close that road until it was salted and sanded....

After 43 winters of driving in snow, there's one thing you never forget.... Go very slow down icy hills. Moreover, there's nothing more slippery than ice covered with a thin layer of fresh snow. Then again, what's a couple of feet of snow, more or less?

lol. that shouldn't have happened in the first place and...anyone should be able to correct that without leaving the lane, no matter what wheels are driving the car.
