You have to be stupid to jump a piece of junk Hyundai directly in the path of a behemoth, especially after the Blizzard hit.

    For those that don't know, the cloverleaf ramp is at the intersection of Crump Boulevard and I-55 As Crump goes west It becomes I-55 North and crosses the "Old" river bridge that opened in 1949.
    This cloverleaf feeds I-55 north traffic onto the westbound bridge. Notice that it currently has two-way traffic on it. They are also routing southbound traffic on this loop from traffic eastbound on crump from the bridge onto southbound I-55 . They are rebuilding this interchange to get rid of the cloverloops and connect I--55 directly to the bridge.. This interchange was built in the mid 1960s and has been a pain for a long time. It is supposed to be finished in early 2025. (Observing this from South Florida where it is 75 degrees)

      They are planning a new six lane bridge for I-55 now. It will be to the south of the current bridge. It is likely three or four years out to begin construction.
      The current I-55 bridge is NOT dilapidated at all. Its only problem is that it is only four lanes and no shoulders. The I-40 bridge is only 50 years old and is in good shape. It had a defect that was discovered in 2021. It was fully repaired and reopened in about three months. There might be another bridge built north of the I-40 bridge at same point.

    I lived in northern Arkansas for a few winters and forget about any salt or sanding. Minimal plowing even on major roads. Schools would be closed for days with just a few inches on the ground.

      Even just snow tires themselves are a massive improvement over all season tires, let alone over summer tires.
      I live in Connecticut, so we do have proper winter support. This leaves lots of people being OK with leaving all season tires on all year. For the most part this is fine, so long as you wait for the plow trucks. Even then, every single person I know who has gotten a GOOD set of winter tires has been amazed at how much better they are. For all types of cars and light trucks, 2wd, 4wd and awd.
      On the other hand, I have seen people get cheap winter tires that were worse than good all seasons in the snow. Then form an opinion that winter tires are not worth it. When they should have learned to never cheap out on your tires.

      Thing for the weather terrified to remember is that we in the northern states (North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan) don't have these problems, even thought the snow and ice are worse and more often, because we have good forecasting of bad weather, and plenty of winter weather dedicated trucks, vast amounts of ice melting compound, and equipment to deal with this before it makes a serious problem for people who have to travel for work. In Tennessee, they don't expect it and don't have anything to deal with it.

    We had a little snow yesterday that quickly turned to ice at stop signs and intersections. Cars struggled and a guy in a puckup truck with a plow smashed into a bmw in front of him while trying to stop for a red light. A Volkswagon Golf GTI was struggling horribly in front if me. A the red light he slid, but managed to stop and then his car slid completely sideways into the curb. He managed to get through the light and was spinning wildly and zigzagging. Luckily it was a four lane road and I saw an opening to get around him when he was sliding away from the lane I was in. I went quickly before he had time to zig back into my lane and accelerated smoothly and swifted up the curved hill. I got the heck off the main roads and stuck to side streets after seeing the cluster there.

It's a bit confusing to me, but I drove for hours during our ice storms in 21 & 23 & rarely slid or spun. I did mild hills, up & down, without any problem. I have manual transmission & front wheel drive & have been told that has much to do with good handling on ice. It caught my attention the GTI having issues, bet it was an automatic.

    I don't know why they wouldn't just get their passenger tires on the gravel shoulder.
    And just drive around the corner

      I was thinking the same thing. That’s how I do it if I get in ice.

      Exactly what I was thinking. I walk on grass when it's icy, too. Fell on ice too many times! Ouch!!

      It's easy to say when you're out there in a panic trying to stay on the road...... logic doesn't always come through...

      It's ALL ice, The grass is iced, the gravel, EVERYTHING. maybe this doesn't happen where you live, but this is freezing rain and creates a sheet of ice. That turn is practically impossible to make. Just a sheet of ice. Temps in the zeros.

    Drone footage is amazing - right on top of some of these - very nice!!!! I *NEVER* understood buying a pickup WITHOUT 4x4 AWD!!!! I know in the South you "MIGHT" not need as much but if you have to haul anything, have a farm, go on dirt / mud roads, or for even THIS exact reason! It's NOT that much more to just get the 4x4 option and have total peace of mind!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁
