Driving through snow

USA as seen from behind the wheel of a 18 wheeler truck. This time I am driving from Connecticut via the I95 through Maine to New Brunswick (which is in Canada :)). The truck is a 2005 International with a 53" refrigerated trailer. owned by McConnell transport from Woodstock, NB. It was a cold journey with lots of snow...
ADDINTIONAL INFO:
To all my critics:
First: this video is just a fun video about winter driving. It is not (I repeat: NOT) an 100% accurate description of reality.
It has been edited to convey a sense of speed and continuation, so it would be more fun to watch. In other words: parts have been digitally altered to make it look like I am going faster, than I actually am.
Yes, I am a driver who likes to drive as fast as the circumstances (safely) permit, but trust me: I really wasn't doing 100 kmph all the time.

Second: I have never been involved in any serious accident. In fact, I have prevented many accidents and defused many potentially dangerous situations by anticipating and reacting correctly.
Third: due to my work as (transport-) journalist, I have attended many courses in both defensive and enhanced driving skills. The average reaction of the instructors: Damn boy, you know how to handle a truck.
This said: Safety is and should always be every truck driver's first priority.
So keep it safe guys and please continue watching and commenting on my video's. All your comments are very much appreciated (except for some name calling m.r.ns. But hey, their profanities say more about them, than about me or my driving :))

Maybe you should read the description first, before ranting like a boneless chicken. And then tell which part of: "this video is just a fun video about winter driving. It is not (I repeat: NOT) an 100% accurate description of reality.

As for Larry going out of business. I hope not. I have never had any beef with Larry, Lee Ann or any of the other employees. They gave me a unique opportunity, for which I am still very grateful. The fact that you post this BS clearly shows you have no idea of what you are talking about.

[arcadie07]

Good video !!!. Is good to watch someone who knows how to drive in snow.

I haul as well, and all I have to say that I see a bunch of these 70mph confident/big ball drivers in WY Jan/feb. But what else I see, every other mile, one or another flipped on a side. I wish I can show pics I've taken for past few years.

i love this vid! ;) the name of the second song please?

[irislovelock]

@dejankreso Hmm, he said 100kph, you ranted 100mph. Comprehension is hardly your strong suit.

NICE TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE IN SNOW I HATE WHEN PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE TO DRIVE 30 ON THE INTERNET WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE ROAD

[dejankreso]

Changing two lanes at a time is against DOT also driving 100 mph on ice and snow is to dumb that is the reason for so many accident on US roads, if you were in Europe you will be behind the bars for sure.

Also foreign drivers from Europe are those who respect the rules in US I guarantee you for that, you guys need to learn a lot from your colleagues from Europe how to share the road how to respect other drivers how to use your turning signals etc...!!!
