PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REDUCE YOUR SPEED AND TURN ON HEADLIGHTS! DURING SNOW SQUALLS, THE VISIBILITY MAY SUDDENLY DROP TO NEAR ZERO IN WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE ON A HIGHWAY WHEN A SNOW SQUALL HITS. VISIBILITY AND TRACTION ARE IMMEDIATELY LOST IN WHITEOUT CONDITIONS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO SLOW DOWN AND AVOID STOPPED VEHICLES. DELAY TRAVEL OR SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY BEFORE THE SNOW SQUALL ARRIVES. WET ROADWAYS WILL QUICKLY FREEZE. BLACK ICE WILL CAUSE UNTREATED ROADS, BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES TO BECOME SLICK AND DANGEROUS. SLOW DOWN AND BE PREPARED FOR SUDDEN LOSS OF TRACTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I’m supposed to leave work around 4 but starting to think I may leave early just in case. Not to mention it would be pretty cool to see the clouds approaching as I drive SE in 95.

My uncle got into a bad accident in one in early December 1991. Nothing accumulated because it was in the upper 30s when it came across but visibility was about 1/16th for 30 minutes. That was one major waste of a snow squall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
