I've never really taken stories about blizzards that seriously because in all my years in this climate, I haven't seen snow conditions that were truly undrivable from my perspective.
Icy roads, sure. But the snow itself hasn't been that much of a deterrent.
Today may have changed that. Drove the highway and when we were heading directly into the 90k/h wind you couldn't see 15 feet ahead. Just a white wall. For stretches of time that was pretty close to undrivable.
And it probably says a lot when the guys in their Ram pickups are slowing down to 60 and throwing on their hazards.
