seattle is right next to the ocean so when it rains which is all the time and it get cold it creates this thing called "ice" and if you dont have studded tires your not going to get around anywhere especially when it decides to snow on top of said "ice". if seattle drivers are bad. then try driving down I-5 in rush hour and we will see who gets in wreck.
@noone309 i actually do like it when roads are covered with ice/snow. and the best tip for Americans is: BUY YOURSELF A CAR WITH A MANUAL GEARBOX not that fancy automatic piece of crap.
@HammerStone82 you do realize washington state has the record amount of snow ever recorded ever right. 39 feet of snow. so what you think is a lot is just a light dusting in washington. now go look outside at your flat state. good day
This is not the drivers' faults. The roads have obviously not been gritted and salted before the snow fell. If they had, 5cms of snow would have posed no problem even to drivers as unused to it as those in Seattle. It also looks as if the snow there is like ours here in the UK where we do get it regularly. The problem is that ours falls at higher temperatures than in colder climates and so it is wet and consequently very slippery and easily turns to ice which no-one can drive on.
Seattle residents are not prepared? So what Snow is rare in Seattle, if you insult Seattle then gtfo of Seattle. Seattle is an awesome place to be and yet you insult us dude we rarely can be prepared for snow because its rare for us so think next time use what most people have (assuming you don't use yours) your brain!
This is crazy. I currently live in Puerto Rico where the climate is tropical and we do not have anything like this. But I plan to move to Minnesota in April and I just can't wait to learn what I should and should not do while driving under this conditions.
@Paramedicpr835 The best thing to do is to not drive. The worst thing to do is to go out. 4-wheel drive will NOT help you on ice, especially inexperienced driver's.
If I lived there I would have left my car at home.. Not because that I had been worried of crashing my car into someone else, but because I had been worried of someone else crashing into my car :P Winter tires FTW!
i don't think it's just the snow, i think it's americans actual road service. Were i come from the UK we have normal road service yeah but it's not smooth, there is always like bits out of it on the road, which i think gives us more grip. The only trouble i've had so far in the snow and ice was my own fault cause i turned to fast and went 90 degrees towards a fence
mostly trying to not be sexiest. as soon as it snows every woman has to run to the store and get something to make a soup. they dont have studded tires or chains (and dont know how to put them on) OH well it will be okay. Ill take my front wheel drive or take my husbands big truck. of cours I dont know how to drive in snow but hey itt 4 wheel drive. it'll be okay till the wreck. the 900 dollar bumper, 1500 dollar quarter panel. also included in this is californians.

I'm from Texas and the place that I live Extremely Rarely snow. I LOVE Seattle and when I went to visit a friend, it was snowing. I believe it was February 2009. I arrived and it was snowing. I thought this was normal but when I talked to some people out there they mention that it was not common. I was driving on snow and it was my first time, YIKES, CRAZY. Thank God I did not had any problems. No accident or anything like that. And it snow crazy that month, I thought.
Welcome to the northwest where a skiff of snow creates chaos and entertainment. What happened to the tradition in the nw of just parking your car on the freeway or middle of the street and walking?
i drive in worse conditions than this all the time with out issue. its called snow tires!! i put them on my truck and now hardly ever have to use the 4wd watching this people are trying to drive as if they on bare dry roads heavy braking mostly culprit
Upstate NY mountainous region, talk about idiot drivers and bad hilly conditions. The sad part is it's not even a bus that's taking up two and a half lanes on the road, it's a damn Smart car!o.o
I'm from Montreal and I now live in Seattle. East Coasters who criticize Seattle drivers should just shut up because the east coast is almost completely flat and here there's almost more hills than flat terrain. It doesn't matter where your from you couldn't drive in this. Physics always win
@0773106 lol you obviously don't know what "almost"means. And if you think Montreal (the city where i was born and raised) holds a candle to Seattle(where i live) in terms of hills youve obviously never been to either Montreal or Seattle. Seattle and its surroundings were built on mountains. Montreal wasn't. Mont Royal is basically the norm here
Dude, hills are no excuse, Norway is nothing but mountains and hills.
I bet you I could've made it through all those places with ease, you only need to follow some simple guidelines.
First of all: If you don't have spiked tires, spikeless wintertires, or chains(only for bigger vehicle. You shall not start up the engine and drive.
Two: When driving downwards, do not use the brakes that much, trying a full stop will only make the car to slide. You should rather shift to a low gear,
@killsowns Yea... even cars and trucks with snow chains/tires don't fare well on these icy city streets. But I'd love to watch you be one of the hardasses that tries to drive in the ice :)
Well yes, I am one of those "hardasses" that drive on the ice, I do it 6 months a year.
You should try to search pictures of norwegian roads, and imagine them covered in snow and ice for 6 months, those people in this video would've gotten themselves killed.
People don't crash because of the condition, that's bullshit, it's the driver abilities to drive that makes them crash.
Just because you don't have a clue how to handle a car on icy conditions, doesn't mean that no one else can.
@killsowns I know you think you're super awesome at driving on the ice (cool story btw), but until you have driven here you really don't know what it's like. I grew up and learned to drive on icy & snowy roads where we get snow storms like the ones in Seattle every couple of weeks.
Like I said, I'd love to watch your cocky Norwegian ass try to drive up a Seattle road covered in melting ice where every stop light/sign makes you stop either on or near a steep slope. You wouldn't be the first :)
@killsowns people here don't have spiked tires. we get a few inches yearly so if we get overnight more than what we usually get in a year. people aren't gonna magically know how to drive on hills with snow. i might have exaggerated in saying that it was impossible but forpeople who aren't used to it it is
@127138kj Up in Sainte-Adele here, it's far from being flat! Anyway, I wouldn't criticize anyway since I know most people in Seattle hardly have any experience in such conditions, let alone be prepared for it. Even around here it happens regularly that people remain stuck in the hill just outside my place, I live right at the bottom and middle of two huge hills. Every winter I see cars just sliding back down, and we are actually prepared for it, Seattle isn't.
@TheNemo802 your right I haven't. I never said seattle drivers were the best in the snow its just that the combination of hills and getting 8 inches of snow yearly on average isnt going to sit well with 8 inches of snow overnight
@TheEgonTowst Ice. The problem with snow in Seattle is that it starts warm; so it rains first, then freezes, then snows. So you have a bunch of hills covered in sheets of ice. 4wd, chains, etc will not save you. It actually gets better if it snows more, since then you can get a pack of snow that chains and snow tires can dig into.
People typically don't buy snow tires in Seattle because it rarely snows here. That's also why the city has very little snow removal equipment. We'll get this kind of snow maybe once every 2-3 years. Not to mention we also have VERY steep hills. I don't think the best of snow tires
would help much on some of our steepest, unplowed, unsalted hills.
Simple way to avoid this stuff and wrecking your car...Stay Home!!!!!..Stay off the roads people and ya wont have to worry about sliding into each other. Duh,,how hard is that to do.
Hey.. listen up all you flatland snow snobs. I was raised in Montana & I do snow. 7000 pound SUV etc. Make it wherever I have to. But nobody has the combination of steep hills and indiot Metro drivers like Seattle. You know momentum is the key. Here, you crest a hill - up or down - or come round a corner, & there is the frickin articulated bus blocking one and a half lanes. You think you can drive in the snow? Come to Seattle. We'll send you back to Kansas licking your wounds, Dorothy.
@cbmackintosh I live in Washington, Tacoma specifically and have plenty driving experience in both Tacoma and Seattle in my piece of shit old car with bad breaks and I drive just fine in this shit. Plain and simple, bad drivers.
@cbmackintosh The hill that I drive up to get home everyday is much steeper than this. I drove up a nigh on vertical mountain road for a couple years to a work a without the slightest problem in much worse conditions than this in an old park avenue. This is obviously a product of the wrong tires and a lack of driving skills/experience.
@cbmackintosh all you west coasters cant drive for shit. people say massachusetts resindents cant drive, blind bostonians drive better then these retards. you people lay on your brakes and step on the gas of course your gonna go sideways. the only excuse to be sliding like this is ice not snow.
@cbmackintosh yeah blame it on somebody else... 99% of this video has no bus in sight... also, metro has professional drivers, who are TRAINED to drive in snow. why don't you try driving a 60-foot artic vehicle with only rear-wheel drive. you think it's easy? most seattle people think that their 4x4 SUV is an icebreaker... well... reality check...
@cbmackintosh Come visit Pittsburgh in the winter, but take a cab. You are apparently completely unaware that Pittsburgh has the steepest street in the world - Canton Avenue - which beats the current Guinness record holder's 35% grade with a 37% grade. You may have the market cornered on idiot drivers, but not on a city that gets lots of snow and ice and is built on steep hills. You think you can drive in snow, but we're not all over Youtube looking like morons in 2 inches of snow.
@soylentbeing Canton is like one block long and the steep part is half that and it doesn't go anywhere so you would have to be retarded to drive on it in a snow storm. Also Pittsburgh is smart and salts and sands. Seattle is like fuck it it only snows once a year if at all.
@4skinner666 Well you could have a lot of fun on Brookside Ave too, if you wanted, but Pittsburghers are generally smart enough to know that when it's icy you find another way from Beechview to 51.
@soylentbeing Yep it is a cool city, I wanted to be able to say I bombed the steepest street in the world (on a skateboard). But the combination of the brick surface and lack of a run out made me can it. I don't think the guy that lived at the bottom wanted my corpse in his drive way anyhow.
@4skinner666 I like Pittsburgh, that's why I choose to live here. The main point of contention that I have with all the Seattleites and the snow is that they seem to think they're completely unique. There are other places with hills and ice and snow, and most of their problems could be alleviated by just realizing you don't take a street with a steep incline when it's covered in ice!
@myzebraconverse101 A foot in three days? I got six inches of snow Friday evening, followed by a half inch of freezing rain. Managed not to crash my car like a Seattle moron, though. I've been through storms that dropped three feet in 12 hours. A foot in three days is really nothing.
@cbmackintosh Did you watch the video? They are filming in our flat areas here. The downtown area drivers, where the REAL hills are, had no problem, and no plows either. Seattle is not all hills.
@cbmackintosh Having been born and raised in Iowa, and having lived in Seattle, I couldn't agree more. Not only that, but while I was there, the snow had a habit of starting when it was above freezing, and so the first bit of it would turn to ice.
@cbmackintosh May I suggest Colorado instead? We do get the most snow of any state... and Minnesota. Though I must admit, Seattle's snow is certainly impressive. But it's really funny to watch a pileup on a mountain pass in winter when the edge of the road is a 2,000 foot cliff
this looks like the hill from hell! I got caught on some black ice on the highway..it was like the car had a mind of its own..I had absolutely no control..I'm not even sure the car was still on the ground..it was horrible and scary! I just put the car in neutral and coasted through it.
Hills and snow? No problem. Deal with those here in Montana, and several towns back in Michigan where I grew up. Trust me. Hills have nothing to do with it. It's called being ignorant of the weather and how to handle it.
@WildSkywolf It only snows once or twice a year! There's no way Seattleites can prepare themselves. Besides, we count on the rain to wash all the snow away.
@WildSkywolf Hills have a big difference. Hills and snow? sure, you can get through. 30% grades covered in ice? good luck getting up. It doesn't help that nobody knows how to drive in snow or has winter tires. Or the lack of snow removal.
maybe if they did what the rest of the country does.. put some salt or brine down... instead of worrying more about the animals instead of humans... this sh1t wouldnt happen
@Muipha Bro They do put salt down. Seattle Has some of the steepest hills in the country and we dont get that snow usually so when we get 4 inches or more its bad. Like right now almost every school in the state is closed for about 6 inches of snow
One of those bragging Midwest transplants here. I have a sports coup, and had no trouble with hills or even with the mountain passes. Then again, I pay top dollar for the best rated snow and all season tires...
I also drive very smooth and slow in the snow, always. You respect the snow, for it will get you if you don't.
@malibu35072 East coaster here...I don't buy snow only tires (don't feel like buying rims) but good all seasons, some chains and a good sense of when to not leave home. I've never crashed in snow...almost been taken out a few times. Normally by pickup trucks. Stupid Seattle/East side drivers...
The problem isn't so much the snow as it is the ice. Anybody who thinks otherwise is retarded or has never actually driven on snow or ice to know the difference between the two. That being said, most people in that area panic when the weather changes to anything other than overcast.. that includes rain and sun.. so imagine just one simple inch of snow.
@kotafxnchaos; Just finished watching another clip "Cars Sliding Down Icy Road in Pittsburgh" Yep, those guys in PA know how to deal with icy conditions, and they seem to do it at much higher speeds. There's some great car control from some folks in another clip" Minnesota Icy Roads, Spinout And Fishtailing", And they don't even have any steep hills like Seattle does. More pros performing on black ice in Chicago in a different clip.

Well yes, I am one of those "hardasses" that drive on the ice, I do it 6 months a year.
You should try to search pictures of norwegian roads, and imagine them covered in snow and ice for 6 months, those people in this video would've gotten themselves killed.
People don't crash because of the condition, that's bullshit, it's the driver abilities to drive that makes them crash.
Just because you don't have a clue how to handle a car on icy conditions, doesn't mean that no one else can.

@killsowns I know you think you're super awesome at driving on the ice (cool story btw), but until you have driven here you really don't know what it's like. I grew up and learned to drive on icy & snowy roads where we get snow storms like the ones in Seattle every couple of weeks.
Like I said, I'd love to watch your cocky Norwegian ass try to drive up a Seattle road covered in melting ice where every stop light/sign makes you stop either on or near a steep slope. You wouldn't be the first :)

@killsowns people here don't have spiked tires. we get a few inches yearly so if we get overnight more than what we usually get in a year. people aren't gonna magically know how to drive on hills with snow. i might have exaggerated in saying that it was impossible but forpeople who aren't used to it it is

@127138kj Up in Sainte-Adele here, it's far from being flat! Anyway, I wouldn't criticize anyway since I know most people in Seattle hardly have any experience in such conditions, let alone be prepared for it. Even around here it happens regularly that people remain stuck in the hill just outside my place, I live right at the bottom and middle of two huge hills. Every winter I see cars just sliding back down, and we are actually prepared for it, Seattle isn't.

@TheEgonTowst Ice. The problem with snow in Seattle is that it starts warm; so it rains first, then freezes, then snows. So you have a bunch of hills covered in sheets of ice. 4wd, chains, etc will not save you. It actually gets better if it snows more, since then you can get a pack of snow that chains and snow tires can dig into.

People typically don't buy snow tires in Seattle because it rarely snows here. That's also why the city has very little snow removal equipment. We'll get this kind of snow maybe once every 2-3 years. Not to mention we also have VERY steep hills. I don't think the best of snow tires
would help much on some of our steepest, unplowed, unsalted hills.

Hey.. listen up all you flatland snow snobs. I was raised in Montana & I do snow. 7000 pound SUV etc. Make it wherever I have to. But nobody has the combination of steep hills and indiot Metro drivers like Seattle. You know momentum is the key. Here, you crest a hill - up or down - or come round a corner, & there is the frickin articulated bus blocking one and a half lanes. You think you can drive in the snow? Come to Seattle.

@cbmackintosh Come visit Pittsburgh in the winter, but take a cab. You are apparently completely unaware that Pittsburgh has the steepest street in the world - Canton Avenue - which beats the current Guinness record holder's 35% grade with a 37% grade. You may have the market cornered on idiot drivers, but not on a city that gets lots of snow and ice and is built on steep hills. You think you can drive in snow, but we're not all over Youtube looking like morons in 2 inches of snow.
soylentbeing 1 month ago
@soylentbeing Canton is like one block long and the steep part is half that and it doesn't go anywhere so you would have to be retarded to drive on it in a snow storm. Also Pittsburgh is smart and salts and sands. Seattle is like fuck it it only snows once a year if at all.

@soylentbeing Yep it is a cool city, I wanted to be able to say I bombed the steepest street in the world (on a skateboard). But the combination of the brick surface and lack of a run out made me can it. I don't think the guy that lived at the bottom wanted my corpse in his drive way anyhow.
4skinner666 1 month ago
@4skinner666 I like Pittsburgh, that's why I choose to live here. The main point of contention that I have with all the Seattleites and the snow is that they seem to think they're completely unique. There are other places with hills and ice and snow, and most of their problems could be alleviated by just realizing you don't take a street with a steep incline when it's covered in ice!

@cbmackintosh Having been born and raised in Iowa, and having lived in Seattle, I couldn't agree more. Not only that, but while I was there, the snow had a habit of starting when it was above freezing, and so the first bit of it would turn to ice.

@cbmackintosh May I suggest Colorado instead? We do get the most snow of any state... and Minnesota. Though I must admit, Seattle's snow is certainly impressive. But it's really funny to watch a pileup on a mountain pass in winter when the edge of the road is a 2,000 foot cliff

The problem isn't so much the snow as it is the ice. Anybody who thinks otherwise is retarded or has never actually driven on snow or ice to know the difference between the two.
