Cars Stuck on Ice in Texas (Climbing an Uphill Road)

San Antonio, TX (Feb. 04, 2011) -- I had to park my car at the corner of Ancira body shop on Wurzbach because of this uphill road with ice and snow, I didnt make it to work I didnt want to come in anyway. I take a walk and see other cars going through the same.

Good footage of a rare situation for you folks in Texas. Because it's a straight shot, if you hit that hill with enough momentum and try not to spin, you can probably make it up. That's why the little gold car did so well. Even so, I can't believe there's not cars wrecked all over the place.

@snowrocket this was 7am, by 10am there were many cars hit each other around the city

all im gonna say is that ii know how to drive in snow. when your going downhill.......you should try to hit the brakes. if that dosen't work try Netrual and hit the brakes. now going up hill..........you're screwed. but all i can say is.....good LUCK!!!

@ohiopherks Five days out of school, huh? SNOW DAYS! I hope you at least did fun snow day stuff: sledding, sliding and donuts in cars, snowball fights, and building snowmen.

I give BIG credit to southerners who can drive in snow. Heck, 10%+ of northerners can't drive in snow! It was all weird this year. Some parts of the south got pounded with snow and ice, while we here in Ohio had a fairly normal winter. I heard on the news maybe a month ago that every state except Hawaii had snow within a three week period.

@snowrocket Yeah, up here in North Texas we had a ton of snow up here in North Texas... shocking for south Texas to get hit... but typical for North Texas... however we did have a ton more than usual. Two straight weeks of wicked weather with 5 days out of school.
