Blinding? I've seen it snow harder In Arkansas. That was just slick snow with people that can't drive. Nothing was blinding about it.


Not sure you have any idea what your talking about. I've been in blizzards in the Sierra (looking out a window in awe) and its no joke. Now as far as the driving you have that correct.

I've been in real blizzards too that actually do blind you. Going by this video I didn't see anything crazy that would blind me. Is there a better video that I'm not seeing?

There probably is somewhere. FWIW the local news here in Sillycon Valley is saying snow was fallingl at 3-4 inches an hour with 100mph wind gusts at the higher elevations.

That soccer mom in her 2WD suburban with slick tires may as well be driving a jet ski over the pass.


Hold on a second bud.

My wife drives a Chevrolet® Trailblazer®. Like her, it is reliable and dependable. Something people can count on. From the school pickup line to the highest mountain passes, her Chevrolet® Trailblazer® allows her to be a leader of the pack™.

There was also an avalanche with 10 backcountry skiers still unaccounted for.


Terrible idea to go out in the back country with a blizzard coming through
