  • This particular hill is so steap that people spin tires even when it's dry. The commenters just have no idea about this city.

  • Why not use Makibisi, a simple tool on ice? You can get a powerful traction at a flip of switch.

  • I live in Maine so I thought it was really funny how they couldn't get up the hill in summer tires... lol not good tires for that

    When I saw that subie drive by that was funny because it looked like he knew what he was doing. lol

  • Lol the third subie should of gone threw the snow like the one that zipped up the hill... lol

  • I just don't understand, unless they have summer treds and not all seasons, but could it really make that big of a difference?

  • wet heavy snow is alot worse than the dry snow. to drive on. but i think these people dont have the experience to drive in it as they dont get snow much.

  • Car at 1:48 practically drove past shouting something similar to "Bus wankers"

  • I lived in Seattle for 10 years. Snowfalls were usually treacherous affairs. It usually doesn't get that cold, so the snow would melt some during the day, and freeze at night and repeat that every day until the temp got high enough to melt everything. One year there were cars completely stranded on a freeway bridge. Nothing could get in there to help.

    Since Seattle might only have one snow a year if that, snow equipment's not high on the list. But, when it's bad, it's bad.

  • Glad I live on the other side of the state

  • the guy was puting chains on a fwd car but on the rear lmao ppl these days . im suprised the subaru didnt make it fine

  • Comment removed

  • looks like someone just doodled in the snow

  • It's called snow tires people... your all seasons are worthless

  • WELL LETS SEE , OHH WOW IM A GENIUS, IM GUESSING YOU WONT MAKE IT UP ANY HILL EVEN IN HALF INCH OF SNOW IF YOU ARE HITTING THE HILL ON THE BOTTOM WITH SPEEDS OF 5 MPH, AS YOU CAN SEE THE DRIVER IN 1.40 HAS NO PROBLEM MAKING UP THE HILL WITH GOING ABOUT 30MPH BUT THE OTHER MORONS SAW 2 INCHES ON THE GROUND AND DECIDED TODRIVER 5 MPH SO I GUESS THATS THE PROBLEM. WOW IM SOO SMART, AMERICANS THATS THE PROBLEM THEIR GO FASTER UP THAT HILL ON THE BOTTOM MORONS

  • @polishadam28 oh, god bless, stop your SHOUTING, refuse to read it, welcome to the internet

  • U GOT TO LOVE THOSE AMERICAN DRIVERS LOL

  • in all fairness this is a steap hill. All you drivers that laugh and pound your chest about how awesome a snow driver you are I encourgae you come to our city and drive in our snow first. Then proceed to leave your money and go back home to whatever shitty city you come from.

  • @norcaljakedasnake My city has plows and such.

  • @uhclem Seattle receives snow so sporadically from year to year the county does not have have funds set aside for proper mitigation, such as plows. Furthermore when it does snow 2" then rains another .5" then freezes overnight I think you can imagine what the roads are like. The hills here are very steep. I find it amusing when people talk they way they do without ever experiencing the exact situation first hand. It's the nature of the comment thread I suppose.

  • @norcaljakedasnake Darn, I should have read your post before making mine.

  • @uhclem But plows and such are not even needed when there's so little snow as there is in this video. Maybe these people just like driving like they do, and maybe they don't like driving normally.

  • @laakeri84 You must be in south Florida.

    It ain't the snow its the ice. Cars can slide like that in the winter with no snow at all.

  • i live in boulder colorado, and drivers here can drive perfectly in two feet of snow, let alone two inches

  • I learned to drive in the snow. Just sayin'

  • pretty funny video if your a complete idiot and dont realize seattle is nothing but large hills 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.

  • It figures I'd see the ultimate yuppie-mobile (Forester) in the ultimate yuppie city.

  • had to pause. and tell you i fucking love the music XD

  • @JayBabyHatesYou Herb Alpert is the best'

  • I love the trail that ford car at the end leaves. Gas left-right, gas left-right...

  • Looks like a thick layer of ice with snow on top. No wonder no one has traction.

  • What was that guy in the Forester doing? lol

  • i know its the 2 top comments, but how do people not know if their cars are awd, fwd, rwd, 4x4, my gosh, n the dudes helping her, HELLO!

  • snow driving takes practice.

  • 1:47 "You mad?"

  • park your car, get out and walk.

  • Noob people. They have not seen yet that is a real ice. lolz...

  • probably more to do with the fact that it dose not snow hardly at all in Seattle so almost no one knows how to drive in it to begin with, and well unlike say Further north in western washington (like Bellingham) very few people actually invest in winter tires let alone Studded winter snow tires. They just stick with the factory "all season" which are really only fit for spring summer and fall, but no winter and snow/ice.

  • There is NO such thing as "All Season Tires. There are summer tires and there are winter tires.

  • @drwsdavis what? theres a million types of all season tires. They have a reduced effectiveness in crazy snowy conditions. But as a michigan driver (driven through 2 michigan winters on the same set of all season tires) id say its often more the driver than the tire.

  • Snow tires make an incredible difference. Once I tried snow tires, I never went back to all-season tires in a Minnesota winter.

  • at 1:33 u see the lady in flip flops and the guy helping her put chains on the back of a front wheel drive car jeez people get a clue

  • 1:30. Oh my god. Why on earth are they putting their snow chains on the back of their Corolla?

    *Smacks forehead*

  • Snow doesn't do that to tires idiots. It's snow on top of ice.

    Duh?

  • 1:20. This is nice. This is something all Seattle should do to help their fellow motorist instead of making fun by making video and posting it on Youtube.

  • @irith I drive truck and was there when that happened. There was freezing rain the night before and then started snowing when the temp rose. The snow was very wet and added with the half inch of ice under it made for very hazardous conditions.

  • What the fucktard poster of this video fails to mention is that it's 2in of snow on top of black ice. The snow was a wet snow and that is never good snow to drive on.

  • @DanShifflett Man are you ok? They're different cars.

  • @mrfinger01man Huh, Toyota Corollas are front wheel drive x

  • Coming from a New Jersey boy, I think it is incredible that the two or three inches we got shut down the entire city.

  • So it really is just people from the Northeast and Midwest who know how to drive in snow. Thanks for a laugh :D.

  • I Love how the Subaru just roars by at 1:50

  • retards ! 

  • Chains on the rear-wheels of a fwd car...in 2 inches of mushy snow...wow...hahaha. Just straighten out the steering wheel...and go easy on the throttle and brakes!

  • @DanShifflett cause American's

  • ahahaha! the america 4x4 rear wheel drive spinning, pan to the land rover 4x4 with 4 wheel drive. Just sitting there prob like ahh ffs

  • @teamdkuk Land Rovers are terrible. I always see them sliding down hills backwards when it gets icy here in Atlanta.

  • @teamdkuk Also, the car in question (Dodge Durango) isn't 4WD in this case.

  • Notice how the subaru just zoomed by. Honestly though, I live in Sweden, and I have never driven on snow as slippery as that. Ice, sure, but snow, never.

  • Funny video!

  • Wrong type of tyres with no grip and unnecessary speeding of the engine. 2nd gear and just enough revs to keep the car moving usually works, at least here in Finland.

  • Comment removed

  • @mikerowave1986 You would need an automatic transmission that allows selecting just the "2nd gear". Volvos with automatic transmission have a special program for winter driving. When it is selected, the car starts in the 2nd gear. I can tell you that a manual transmission can be just as tricky in winter, in particular if the car has rear wheel drive.

  • @mikerowave1986 If you knew anything about vehicular components (which you evidently do not) then you'd know that most automatic transmissions have a specific gear for adverse weather conditions. Often known as "2nd"

    And winter tires give you no advantage x

  • @casmatori I am surprised you say that about tires, based on my own experiences. Once I get my snow tires on, my 4-door sedan goes anywhere as long as the snow is not deep enough to lift the frame off the ground. On the off ramps, when it's really icy, I have to drive around all the stuck 4x4 SUVs with all season tires. It helps that I have been driving in Minnesota winters for 35 years, but technique is not sufficent without proper tires.

  • @AltRage Where I live it would be a waste of time and money buying them as it gets snowy/icy maybe 2 weeks of the year at most. I just run with regular Michelin tires and I have no trouble negotiating hills in my X5. It all comes down to fluidity and making sure you maintain your forward motion.

    Of course in Minnesota they're beneficial because you get snow and under 30 degree temperatures a lot x

  • @casmatori That makes more sense, then. Happy motoring.

  • @AltRage That's alright x

  • lmao subaru goes right up the hill

  • The problem is not the amount of snow.... it's the kind of snow.... This stuff turned into gooey slush right away..... Whereas in the midwest, the snow is powdery, giving more traction.... Yea, I lived in Bremerton, and Montana....

  • In Canada, anyone who drives like this is banished to the US.

  • City dwellers. Lol they don't know about living in the country. A foot of snow never stopped me!

  • Now imagine if this were SoCal.

  • @tikitom1966 Haha exactly. Well put.

  • Driving in Seattle in the snow sucks it is a shit show anyway and there are hills everywhere

  • Silly Americans eh?

  • @reportedtable8 Silly Goose

  • OK, so they dont have the skill, they dont have the right tires. And YES i DO CLAIM to be BETTER, why? When thing is out of my hand and i dont know what to do, I DONT DO IT!!!!!

  • watch?v=KZ9XLf5LQNg

  • 0:39 lol the Land Rover Discovery is like "Come on man!"

  • My car would have made that easily

  • Wanna hear something funny? Just a couple days later, that 2 inches was 10.

  • Why are Seattle people complaining so much? It's supposed to snow there for a week out of every year anyway. Yeah when a ton of snow hit a few years ago I didn't hear anyone complaining then, yet you bitch and moan when there's only been like a couple inches. God...

  • trololololololol

  • There's can be also 1 inch snow but if you don't have right tyres or tyres-chains you wouldn't do much better.

  • which is the name of this song

    

  • lol the land rover ... 'will this guy ever learn?'

  • Either u don't have proper winter tires or there is some serious black isce under the snow. And slowly does it, no rush ppl.

  • tip: drive fucking slowly, and i mean SLOWLY

  • lol I remember those days..but the roads were icy a few days after it had snowed

  • Have you ever seen the streets in Seattle? There are some very steep hills all around that will wear you out just walking up one. You will find cars struggling in the snow anywhere in the world where there is snow. To just pick out a few having problems and group a whole city together based on that is immature at best. You must work for MSNBC.

  • hahahaha!!!

  • @1:26 why are they putting chaing on the rear wheels of a front wheel drive car?

  • @DanShifflett - just because you have a fwd car doesnt mean putting chains on the rear is useless. You dont have mass acceleration but you wont fishtail and as you can see in most snow videos fishtailing is the result of most crashes. chains arent just for traction, they help lateral stability, acceleration, steering and braking.

  • @keneeye it's not useless, but it's not as useful as putting it in front of the tires, especially in this case.

    either way, chains are only good for deep powdery snow, not the shitty snow>rain>sleet>snow>rain>free­ze overnight>snow + hills that we have here on the westcoast.

  • @DanShifflett there are different physics laws in USA :)

  • @DanShifflett its a woman... why is she not in the kitchen?

  • @DanShifflett Why are they in the road with no hazard lights on ?

  • Comment removed

  • @chrisram57 You must be 55 years old and need your eyes checked. Get some glasses!! I understand putting on chains on the rear wheels for traction but if you going up hill you probably want to put them on the driving wheels.

  • There are dumb drivers everywhere. Seattle has some weird snow storms. It usually snows a couple days then gets warm then freezes again so seattle turns into an ice rink, it turns from skill into you're fucked. I havent crashed my old jetta in any of the storms we had because Im smart where i drive. too many cars built with AWD so people think theyre legit. Besides Seattle is the shit, dont hate cause we have better weed then you.

  • Do these people just use the baldest fucking tires they can find? 

  • my tires always on rain drops keeps falling on my head..

  • yo~~~do you see that brown subaru outback~

  • J love the music !!! The Frozen Going down the Hill Show !!!

  • I love it when it snows because I can drive my land rover around town and pull everyone out of ruts and up hills and I look like super man combined with mother Teresa.

  • how are they so bad? i drive a light weight rear wheel drive through the entire Wisconsin winter with out much problems

  • um hi, can I barrow your chains for a minute... um I'm an idiot can you put them on for me please.

  • Imports form Cali...every one.

  • hahahaahahahaha oh my gosh we are pathetic

  • Putting them chains on the ass end of that front wheel drive car didn't seem to help much...

  • @murphicus Yeah, it was bad. I heard there was like 20 car accident on i90 I believe. Did they count the amount of deaths this year?

  • @grbquattro Thankies. Hopefully no more snow this year :)))

  • Minnesota

  • no winter tires, and you get that

  • LOL! that's awesome!

  • Everybody's proud of where they are from and no other place on earth is as cool as them. BS. I've driven in all 48 states and you all suck everywhere snow or no snow. And if you were as smart as you think you are you would see that the snow in this video is a wet snow. In other words it affords no traction . Same as ice. So stop comparing with your snow in Canada , Minnesota or wherever. You sound like morons. Oh, it's the internet. You ARE morons.

  • Comment removed

  • i live in memphis, tn, and we get 3 inches of snow twice a year, and we drive better than that.

    except for a guy in a jeep grand cherokee. he spun into oncoming traffic.

  • at 1:49, the guy makin almost no progress is thinkin: lucky

  • the accompaniment is genius! So funny!

  • they are too poor to buy better tires to be honest

  • @dizeze - Yeah us in seattle are so poor mmmmmm....Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Amazon.com etc. I'd say we are doing fine.

  • No one cares about spokane or finland...

  • wait wheres Finland? oh ya thats right no one gives a fuck! :)

  • @AmeriKens this just proves that Americans are not only fat but also ignorant, lol

  • @AmeriKens Finland? It's way up there at #4 of the worlds best economies, but I guess you can't see that from waaaaaayyyy down there

    ~From you Canadian neighbour who's economy AND winter driving skills are way better than yours :)

  • Oh Seattle, how I miss it when you start freaking out at such a measly amount of snow...

  • Guess you guys have never been to Canada. We have a good 2 meters here.

  • The car that drives by at 1:48 is from eastern Washington.

  • They cant drive in the snow because they don't have the experience required to drive in snow or even the right kinda tires. A lot can be said, but don't claim your better because you live somewhere it snows all the time, and you can make it through snow 10x or even 100x what they got, just enjoy the video.

  • @ArcticOutlaw

    I agree and I think too that many of them drive vehicles that aren't good in any amount of snow.

    Add to that they are not prepared for winter (good tires and all that) plus many people don't have good driving skills in good weather, let alone bad.

    We had 5 inches of snow here week before last and I went any where I wanted. I drive a 2011 Call of Duty Rubicon so I had the road to myself anyway.

  • come to buffalo you'll be commiting suiside on how much snow we drive through. this is childs play.

  • While I find "Sliding Across Town" Season to be hilariously entertaining, those of you panning Seattlites for not knowing how to drive in 2 inches of snow... if you only had to do it for a few days once every several years, you'd suck at it too.

  • 1:00 parallel parked like a boss!

  • This is snow with ice underneath.  You don't drive your car on ice, you aim it.

  • Being a life long resident of Seattle I have to agree... People just don't know how to drive in the snow. My brother took me to the pass and forced me to learn to drive in the snow to be familiar with such conditions. I try to tell people momentum is your friend in certain situations and don't ride your brakes along with down shifting is your friend lol. This guy wanted me to push him up the hill with my jeep, I said it's going to damage your car and he replied "we can trade insurance". NO!

  • @joejibblets

    Yr comment has no educational or entertainment value. You fail to see that your need to criticize others betrays your emotional insecurities that stem from the sexual abuse you suffered from your father.

    Have you considered blow up dolls?

  • Seattle drivers are bad enough on a good day. When it snows, they turn into complete idiots.

  • @Runesinger fuck off you cunt

  • Maybe if they just salted the roads like everywhere else in the world...

  • Vancouver B.C. has the same problem as Seattle, no snow tires and not used to driving in it, so massive snarl-ups. So funny for someone who grew up with snowbanks over our head in winter.

  • I get super sick of the lame jokes about this old meme. quit dissing seattle drivers. you fail to mention the 10 percent grade of most of our streets. how hilly are your roads, New York, Chicago, Boston? Imagine san francisco getting two inches of snow. ya. it would be like that.

  • i agree with wet snow and ice are harder to drive on. but how much snow does seattle get a year? the biggest problem here is a lack of experience in winter driving conditions.

  • They need to visit Minnesota and learn how to drive in the snow!

  • 1:34 FAIL snow chains in the back wheels of a FWD car LOLOLOLOLOL

  • @canuckaholic91 LMAO Fucking retards!!!!

  • you guys in colorado/finland/alberta need to be quiet for a bit.

    2 inches of snow near the coast is insane because there's probably a sheet of ice in the middle of that, some sleet, slush on top of the sheet of ice. snow here is different than the dusting you guys get because over in the coast it's always straddling the freezing mark

  • amerykanie to głupi naród! oni nie widzieli opon zimowych, więc co tu mówić o ich używaniu...

  • In Canada, Alberta to be exact....We call this a "Light Dusting".....No problems ever. Try driving in 2 - 3 Feet of Snow in Blizzard Conditions (Whiteout)... Hahah Lol

  • and ppl say florida has the worst drivers lol, and quebec, but ya quebec is prob worst in the world....

  • LOL @ the morons putting tire chains on the rear wheels of a Toyota Corolla. Wow!

  • Te ich 5 litrowe silniki nie dają rady ;d

  • Tip if it ever snows again in NW- If your complaining about driving in the snow, well dont drive then, ur causing traffic.

  • I got 8" of snow south of seattle

  • this was a funny ass storm..i came from Big Bear California..about 7,000 feet above sea level where we get feet of snow..when this tinny ass storm came through and everybody was flipping out i was laughing my ass off..snow pussys

  • OH MY GOD i just couldn't take it anymore, i just had to put my two cents in. ok first yeah in other states and cities there way more snow than what we got okay. but just remember people that SEATTLEIS A VERY HILLY CITY so in even 2 inches of snow and it is very hard to drive. so i dare all yall shit talkers to come up here and try to drive up a steep ass hill and see what happens. oh and by the way it was about 6 inches of snow that we got and about 30mph winds. okay bye!

  • @nickiminajfan425 I'm up to the challenge and I'm sure that anybody that lives in a winter country would too. Up to like 3 inches on the ground I got no problem and I will drive straight even in a hill. You guys might have had 6 inches but in this video there's not even a inche on the ground yet. Check the some video on youtube about other country that has snow how they drive, you'll see that what everybody is saying is true and why they are laughing.

  • I love how their putting chains on the Camry's rear wheels.

  • Seattle drivers don't know how to drive in the rain and the sun is about as rare as snow so you can imagine the everyday exeperience....

  • i have been watching and laughing at a lot of videos of seattle drivers in the snow, and discovered they all use the same tactic, brake and turn the wheel completely to one side and then wonder why they spin. idiots, lol

  • America has more snow than the rest of the world

  • sad wisconsin gets around 3 feet of snow every snowstorm and we usually have 3-4 snowstorms and still go to work/school, and theres never anything like this...that's just sad

  • seattle drivers, welcome to finland! we have almost 100cm of snow in the northern part of the land :))

  • the only car that moves is the Subaru.

  • lol at the lady trying to put chains on the rear wheels of a FRONT wheel drive corolla! bahahaha

  • i bet every finnish people here are laughin to this xdd

    looks fucking ridicilous

  • @stpftw1 YES! :D

  • Oh, the wonders of the automatic gearboxes working in sweet mechanical symphony with Seattle's driver chrous.

  • 1:48 = Subaru winning at winter.
