Wow... I don't know about 12 year olds twearking though...

i don't think they are 12. 15-16 at the youngest imo.

[MasterGoa]

Center one at 1:08?

yeah, easily 15 imo. apparently there's a lot of outrage over this clip now, so perhaps they ARE younger than that. idk...

"It's ok madam. That's just part of her dance routine."

I foresee a new internet thing comming.

Semi's crashing in Wyoming yesterday:

What gets me is that it's apparent that it's a complete white-out situation, and yet the truckers keep on ploughing along far faster than their visual range allows for. Smaaaaaaaart.

Don't judge so quickly. Wyoming is a lot like Michigan where the winds mix cool/warm air and creates a situation you can literally be free and clear one second and before you can react you hit a squall that comes out of nowhere, and by then it's too late.

It's called lake-effect snow. Ask Gravy what it's like; it's freaky.

So, you literally can't see it coming, at all? And the roads you are driving on beforehand are not snow-covered and dry?

Exactly on both counts

[yt]rD3oxP2pToI[/yt]

Awesome. Very Studio Ghibli like

[MasterGoa]

Exactly on both counts

The problem with lake effect snow is that is can happen when there is
actually not enough humidity to sustain regular cloud snow.

So the conditions are very dry and the snow if very light and volatile.

So one nice gust of wind and all the snow on the ground is swept upwards
in all direction.

Delicious snow to ski, but crazy to drive into...

[OzzieBloke]

Exactly on both counts

Damn.

Glad I live in Australia. That's all I can say.

I've lived in Cleveland area (20 years) and Detroit Area (7 years), and have experienced lake effect snow more times than I can count. And no it is not that freaky, and it is not one minute dry with the next minute bam holy hell I cant see crap, and yes semi-truck drivers are always driving too fast for the conditions. It's more like I should slow down its getting bad, holy hell I cant see crap. There is always time to slow down for the conditions.

Happens in Wisconsin when the snow has stopped and you come along a break in trees or buildings too. The wind will blow in those areas and cover the road and swirl snow around I the air.

The thing is though that you know it happens so you know to expect it and also in that video, there was obviously snow all over the roads and the visibility was not changing.

[Silent-Runner]

because i know that some of you are doing a lot of fixing stuff at your homes.

That's how to do it the professional way

Yeah... that sounds more like the situation to me, admittedly.

Living in the snow belt, I see it a lot....

Snowbelt is a term describing of a number of regions near the Great Lakes in North America where heavy snowfall in the form of lake-effect snow is particularly common.[1] Snowbelts are typically found downwind of the lakes, principally off the eastern and southern shores.

Impressive as that video it, all it tells me is that the people crashing in the first video are a bunch of morons. There's plenty of warning, and plenty of time, to see that conditions are going to hell and to slow down to a speed that is reasonable for the conditions: A 20mph crawl rather than anything faster. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

FTR that video is nothing like the squalls I've seen in southern Wyoming.

I know it's easy to just proclaim that everyone is a moron, but I'd like to think it's a bit more complicated than that. I myself almost got in a huge wreck with multiple vehicles 5 years ago on that same interstate outside of Rawlins, WY when a squall came in faster than anything else I've ever experienced to date - and I live in state known for its blizzards, so that's saying something.

That stretch of highway between Rawlins & Cheyenne is notorious for conditions being fine one second and then the next, gale-force winds & snow come out of nowhere. It's really difficult to predict, so unless they just made the speed limit 20mph for the entire winter - even when the conditions are good (which it is most of the time) - then it's difficult to avoid the accidents.

Now you can believe whatever you want, but if I was you I wouldn't use a video taken in upper New York (which is almost 3,000 kilometers away from southern Wyoming) as a good comparison any more than I would take the opinions of people who have driven thousands of kilometers away in Ohio & Wisconsin as evidence that they somehow know what the late winter squalls of southern Wyoming are like.

[t3hl33td4rg0n]

Couldn't really tell how fast those rigs in the rear were going. I see plenty of dumbass truckers going 50-65 on full snow-covered highway, unplowed, unsalted, with low visibility.

Whenever I see these conditions on the highway, you're guaranteed to see wrecks on the road.

It's not exclusive to Wyoming

lol I wasn't saying fast driving or wrecks are exclusive to Wyoming

Well, I'll hunt around until I find a video that demonstrates such a situation. I mean, when I've been driving up in the north of Oz, in monsoon season, there have been situations where it's cloudy, it's cloudy, it's cloudy, boom, rain so heavy you can't see 10 feet in front of you. But here's the thing: I don't keep my foot planted on the gas expecting everything to be okay.

Black ice on the other hand: That's a real **** of a thing, and I'll forgive people who wreck on that because it's nigh impossible to see it on the road. Hell, I've spun my own car out at low speed on a roundabout (even posted a video of it here on Rage) when the roads were wet, and it masked an oil patch on the road that I unknowingly drove over. Then again, I was doing all of 30kph at the time, slow enough that I was able to control the spin so I didn't hit any kerbs, and the other driver behind me was leaving prudential distance so they had plenty of time to stop. Meh.
