yellowD posted:oh well. there was definitely no way to precent any of that I was thinking about this all week and telling people not to travel on one of the the busiest travel days of the year, particularly driving to shop during the shopping days the consumer economy relies on, was just not going to happen. I mean, they’re already travelling during a covid wave. Whatever it would take to break this pattern of behaviour has not happened yet, and all state and media effort is going into reinforcing it anyways.

It's a long shot but you could check if your local Walmart still has any of these propane heaters in stock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJKqMzUsz9w&t=15s

People are horrible at assessing personal risk, coupled with an extreme desire to do what they want regardless of external circumstances (worse in America) leads to poo poo like this. Completely preventable.

Zokari posted:how does that even happen How much momentum do you think a loaded semi has? Then what happens when people are driving too fast, too close together, on slick roads, then one car hits a chunk of snow and spins out? No one can stop. If the visibility is low, the cars just keep coming. Here's one from last winter (I believe). If you're ever in this situation, I would probably move 90° to the freeway and get as far as I could (hundreds of yards at least). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRXMtDlX0Ko

People don't have the instinct to rapidly dismount, place pyrotechnics and break for the treelike to get behind thick trees, so a lot of people unfortunately get clobbered milling about. It makes a bad situation worse and it sucks to see in these videos. The guys in the I94 video knew what the score was, in the 1 minute mark they're screaming at people to get out of their vehicles.

Real hurthling! posted:i have never been in possession of a road flare unless one came in some unobvious place in a car i used.  $140 CAD and it could save your life. You can also get smoke pots, star shells and placed or hand flares. Way better than the small, cheap ones often sold as road flares. Any pyrotechnic is better than lights or reflectors though. https://www.marineoutfitters.ca/index.cfm?category=10014%7C10165&product=71789052&code=900000039011
