How Seattle Residents Drive in the Snow

Rear wheel drive car 'going' up an iced over North 46th Street in the Fremont area of Seattle - 9pm, November 22nd, 2010.

Oh, and he's 'going' up the street on the wrong side. Why in the world the guy who can barely stand up thought he could push the car up the hill is beyond me. Fortunately for you, there is no smell-o-vision because the stench of burnt rubber was awful.

New York hills = San Francisco? I don't think so. There's a reason we call everyone east of the Rockies flatlanders. You don't know from hills. We've got 14,410 ft. Mt Rainier and a whole range of mountains over 9.000 feet here. Downtown Seattle freaks out the flatland drivers even in the summer...especially the ones with manual drives. They can't figure out how to not roll backward when stopped on a 15-percent grade. Come try it on the ice and snow and then criticize Seattle drivers.

@lolboy546 Actually, yes - we are. Unless you are flying or sailing, driving over mountains is the only way into or out of Seattle. Thousands commute over Snoqualmie Pass every day. We also must "drive up the mountains" to the local ski areas. And the minute you drive off the ferry in downtown Seattle, you must immediately drive up some seriously steep (at least 10% grade) hills to get through the downtown area. No other city I've driven in can compare.

@Pipsqwak

I remeber back in... 2010? (cant remember the year lol)

I visited my folks who live in Tacoma and Paulsbo and we went to Seattle and people were using a blocked off street near Pikes Market as a huge sledding hill LOL.

Those roads scare the hell out of me though and props to the people who can navigate them. Very dangerous
