[Traffic Camera] Seattle Drivers vs the Snow - Round 2!
Filmed 2/10/19 and 2/11/19. *Full title so people don't get mad: Seattle Drivers vs the snow, ice, steep hills and not enough plows.*
Seattle was hit with a total of 4 "Snow Events" over the past two weeks; in this video, I recorded people trying to drive during the last two. Lots of issues on the West Seattle Bridge, but downtown was no cakewalk either. As for the 45th St Viaduct ... why would you even attempt it in the snow?
Thanks for watching!

Native Coloradan here, we have winter tires, sanded roads, delays, etc......and people STILL can't drive. Videos like this make my day 😂
Lived in Seattle around 1986, when we had a huge snowstorm all day. I was rebuilding fireplaces back than, so I literally had a ton of bricks in my Dodge Polara station wagon, when I started my way back home from North Seattle to mid U-district. I planned my route really carefully, no hills etc, not easy in Seattle, and it took me three hours to get home, versus 15 minutes to get to my job, and I met 3 cars on the way. Never ever had three hours of cold sweat like that.

in my place - this is how Winter usually looks like and we have no such problems. The drivers need to use proper season tires, while road services should do the job on time using salt and sand.
i miss seattle lmao. this was a funny video to watch. i remember a few pretty bad storms around 2010-2011 that was kinda like this storm, but way more ice. it was like inches of ice covering everything, and shut down the whole city. probably wasn't the first time but that's the time i was there to experience it. stay safe out there and make wise decisions drivers!
I have to say, compared to all the KZread videos I've seen of winter driving, these people are actually doing pretty well. Don't get me wrong; ALL of them should have stayed home. Even so, you don't see any of these people coming down the hill at full speed and expecting to be able to stop at the traffic light. Except for the fact that they're on the road at all (and that one jackass going the wrong way on a divided highway), they're all being very cautious. I've seen lots of videos of winter drivers in places where snowy roads are the norm for four months of the year who go the full speed limit or are outright speeding and smash into other cars or they hit a curve and they spin right off the road because they're not taking the weather conditions into account at all.

Our climate is also just temperate enough that it likes to use the freezing point as a damn trampoline, leading to this nasty type of gray compacted sludge…which is always, ALWAYS layered over ice. That’s the real danger in Seattle: the ice. If there’s snow, there’s guaranteed to be ice, and it likes to freeze crystal clear so you’ll never see it in time to avoid it.
Script, editing and music hilarious. Well done! PS Sadly, in Switzerland it's the same. Snow every winter and people just don't learn. Snow tyres do make a huge difference though.

Not just going to “emergency snow network,” but absolutely zero transit whatsoever because the ice prevented them from even getting the buses out of their barns altogether.

Wow... I'm dying from laughter at all the silliness. I understand the buses getting stuck, but that's a given. When the roads are that greasy, icy or snowy, we people of the East Coast of Canada and Maine, know to stay off of them. We may be crazy, tell you to hold our Tims and watch, but there are times where we are smart enough to get off of the roads and stay safe at home. Kudos to those city workers (plows, police, fire, etc.) that were out in that mess helping the idiots off the road. lol God bless them one and all. The amount of snow on the road is just enough for playtime here. Expecting 6 to 8 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow with high winds. Should go out playing after it's over.. NOT!!! Maybe stores should have winter tires for your cities out there... lol!!! Great work catching some funny pics for us to giggle at.

Seattle, given the rarity of snowy conditions that last this long, you re forgiven. However, in the rest of the country where winter means snow and ice every year, it is unbelievable that thousands of drivers refuse to prepare, and thus these scenes occur with regularity. Until the M & S rating is removed from 3 season tires, winter traffic camera entertainment will continue.

Seattle has to be one of the worst places for stuff like this to happen. It's full of hills and usually only gets a few inches of snow per year. So yeah, no one knows how to drive in the snow and they aren't equipped with the proper tires. I was waiting at a bus stop next to an intersection on a hill in Port Angeles during this weather and watched cars stopped by the light going uphill slide to the shoulder. The road didn't go straight up the hill at that point otherwise they would've slid right back down.

It was about 2 hours in that I started wishing I'd taken the bike. *IT* had studded tires, it might have been uncomfortable, but I would have been home by then.
snowy roads are basically when the cars become drunk
True. We are the worst. But, what people don’t know is we live at the freezing temperature in times snow falls. It melts in the day and freezes at night. They ARE NOT driving in snow! They are driving on sheets of ice. Not snow. We can deal with that. Our terror of snow comes from never seeing’s a snowplow at work.

@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump Not at all. It helps, but it's almost not necessary. A lot of the roads in Sweden are untreated. And even more roads are treated first after several hours or days, and even then it's okay with snow and ice on the roads. I have driven on highways with 10 cm of snow on, with FWD. Without ANY problem. Yesterday it was rain and above 0 degree C and during the evening it went down below 0 and started snowing and was blowing a Lot so it was sometimes hard to see even where the road were, and i still had NO problem getting home (smaller roads and larger one like highways). I have at least! 200.000 km behind the wheel in all kind of weathers and has Never had any problems. Yes, it takes a bit longer to get to the destination when it's snowing and blowing like crazy and you don't see where the road are but it still works. Never stuck. Never slid off. Nothing. But, i always use the best rated tires (summer tires during summer and winter tires during winter) and i always make sure i switch to winter tires before it gets slippery (there are weather forecasts you know...).

Look at states in the South, like Texas, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina. They get one snow a year, it's too expensive to have snowplows just for that, so they just shut down. Every single year, there's 1-2 snow days. People just got know how to stay in.
In Canada it is one of the great challenges. Snow tires make a big difference. If we get early snow/ice we get caught without snow tires on and go through this too. Stay safe but enjoy the simple spin outs.

just went through it again the last part of December...probably even worse. to be fair, the snow comes down wet, then freezes, with more snow on top, so you have snow covered ice which is the worst. on the other hand, there's a lot of new arrivals in the Seattle area from homes where they have no experience in winter driving or driving at all
