Minnesotans are amazing I live in Western north Carolina up in the high country if we had a snow storm like that we would have snow on the roads for a month we just don't have the equipment to properly remove the snow so fast
in our Friday overnight (scanner traffic) zone I-29 corridor Sioux Falls to Brookings SD. there was unlucky semi dual trailer that jackknife on block up the flow even with detour it 3hr task + trailer had cargo leak wait hazmat.
@@jeanmarcks6269 Lmao...I also live in Florida, I live in the snowiest town in Florida (0.2 inches/year average), and people around here are always eager to go up north during the winter breaks. A lot of people from the Florida Panhandle just LOVE winter weather and snow. People up north are always like, "Trust me, you DON'T want this", and then we'll be like, "Let's go skiing!"
If this people was driving in Norway they would lost their licens on the spot. They have nothing on the road to do! Learn to drive on snow and ice before taking your driverslicens.. And buy good winter tires.
USA has no winter driving teaching or lessons in school. People will drive 60+ and obey the road signs speed limit on bald or all season tires. People will crash in the snow and then say "but the sign said you have to go 55". They have no concept that in hazardous weather, you halve the speed limit.
did not see any crashes SEEN A LOT OF CARS AND TRUCKS have to be pulled back onto the road but it isnt a crash unless they hit something which none of these did
@@jayageertsen619 I guess it was the easiest and fastest way to attach the towing cable. Personally I'd rather give the tow operator a good tip and have him use the cars tow points (or at least a more solid anchor point on the unibody structure) to get my vehicle back on the road than risk damage to the steering. At least the snow did not offer much resistance.
So how many cars have you pulled out of the ditch? a wheel is one of the strongest places you can hook to on a car, there is a world of difference between a steady pull with a winch or someone with a jerk strap yanking on it
@@adamt4742 My brother got his jeep grand Cherokee stuck in a ditch and tried to "steadily" pull it out with a winch by the back Axel (the one with out cv's) and now his Axel is bent, and if he drives it the tread on the tire gets eaten away. It's 800$ for a back Axel from my local junkyard. So no I wouldn't hook a winch up to any car tire on the front or the back especially when there are hooks on the front of most cars under the bumper and I bet you didn't see the part of the video where they were pulling the car at an angle from the front tire. Hence why I said I would rather wait out the winter than have a dumbass cost me more in repairs than it would take to have my own 4x4 pickup truck with chains drive back out there and do it the right way.
They have very specific procedures that are actually backed up by tons of research, studies and science. Also the past two winters have been rather snowy and cold. Couple that with extended periods of flooding along the rivers (most salt enters the state on barges) this has created a salt shortage. Sand is really not an option and is only used when temperatures become so cold salt is rendered ineffective.
@@kirnpu some of the best real drivers drive in bad weather without causing a problem for others. In other words not everyone who is can. Thanks for the reply.
One of the three reasons we left St. Cloud MN. The other two are mosquitoes and liberal politicians--both blood suckers and impossible to live with. Great video though.
They drive on snow and ice that hit frozen ground. Southerners drive on freezing rain on top of thawed ground. I saw that happen one time in upstate NY. They closed the interstate highway for two days.
The only way I can see how these tarts ended up in a ditch, was driving over the speed limit on worn out tires when they lost control and skidded into a ditch. I don't blame anyone for not helping, there's a lot of race car drivers on the road everywhere. See the road is their personal racetrack, so taking an innocent life doesn't bother them one bit. The court system is the biggest joke when it comes to Justice being served.
I didn't see any crashes at all. Only people who were already off the road when you passed by. Lame... No thumbs down but I had to consider doing so. Geesh...
If car makers can come up with all this technology, why haven't they thought of developing a small tank underneath the bottom rear of cars that can release rock salt when needed? Just a thought, but you read it here first.🤔
When I see a semi in the ditch I think..king of the road...lol really being king you know how to handle the road guess your not much of a king are you... lmbo 😂
When I see that I'm thinking it's time to get off the road. I'll never forget the time I was young and dumb driving through Iowa in a ice storm in a Camaro, emergency vehicles semi's cars everywhere were in a ditch but I kept on going at 5mph lol
When I see that, I think the trucker likely had to make a move so he wouldn’t collide with another motorist in his path, and going in the ditch was the better option.
Often times the truck is empty and there is no weight to hold those 18 wheels on the road. But the driver is trying to get to his loading destination to get your Thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas presents to bring to the stores.
I thought you northerners knew how to drive in snow on them there roads? Heck I drove through blizzards that were worse than that and I am from the south of Mason Dixie Line. Man, I could make a lot of money pulling people out of their problems with my ole pickup.
i give a lot of credit to the snow plow drivers who do this
Two weather seasons in. Minnesota...winter is coming, and winter is here.
Good little film,. Great use of angles and cuts.
whew all of a sudden I am very grateful for the rain we are getting in Vancouver, versus the white fluffy stuff yipes!
Watched it again! Compelling reasons to stay off when it's bad.

Ouch - pulling that Camry out with the wheel. Nobody will convince me thats ok for the suspension and steering gear.
I do it a lot it will slide won’t hurt anything
Well this guys sucks at towing^^
Just don’t do it on the rear will bend trailing arms
Great channel. People forget to slow down in winter.
Wow, snow in October. No wonder they have such serious ploughing trucks.
Thank you. I miss all this fun down in Florida. ☃️

Is it mandatory to have winter tires on in Norway?
@@jjstangeland on cars and trucks yes. On traktor i am not sure, but i think so. I have nokian tri2 with spikes on my tractor

Those are not crashes, those are spin outs and slip and slides. It’s also extremely minor for Minnesota.
towing from the rim? yeah you can disconnect my car and I’ll call someone else thanks lol. wow.
I thought the same thing!!! I cringed as I watched him do that.
Just another day here in cloudy town!!!
Hi from northern part of Norway,
If this was in Norway all the drivers had lost their driving licence!
In America, you would have just lost your pen license for that sentence.
Gareth hows your Norwegian? I’m guessing not as good as his English.

@@Nautikuus I would rather wait out the winter than have a 10 ton winch pull my tire. I think the tow truck oporator was just not that experienced.

Why do they plow and the last truck dosen't put salt or sand down?? Just uncover the ice.

Feel like VIP when I'm behind the plows making way for me.

Absolutely! I love it when I can get behind a plow.

Welcome st Cloud MN 🙏🙏🇺🇸
What crashes?
Beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think the rear plow truck should check his salt spreader, doesn't do alot of good leaving a single trail of salt!
Did anyone notice there was snow on the ground before they started driving 90 miles an hour!!!

When Handing out Brains Minnesota were the last to get them
I hate when they salt the roads. Ruins cars
yeah damn....its awful when the roads are dry and easy to drive on. i much prefer driving on ice rinks on the way to work
@@brianburke5214 I get through the snow just fine. I'm just a better driver.😏
One reason Im buying Tesla Cybertruck
made from rust resistant stainless steel L
Too much distance to cover and that to slope. Impossible feet of driving.
Either no one in Minnesota drives Subaru's or they just don't slide off the road.
Subaru is really people here in MN, but winter tires are more important
@@minivanmaster you are not wrong about good WINTER specific tires.
It’s St.Cloud. Not Saint

More money for the education budget
@@GlensFallsRich man arkansas schools 10yrs behind they country asf
That wasn’t even considered a snowstorm in my book
Letzte winter in Kiel war 1995. Jetzt sehr viel Regen
Good thing they "know how to drive in it". I hear northerners say that a lot.
They drive on snow and ice that hit frozen ground. Southerners drive on freezing rain on top of thawed ground. I saw that happen one time in upstate NY. They closed the interstate highway for two days.
Max Hughes Trust me the roads are just as I feared I live in Minnesota I was out driving in that exact storm it really wasn’t that bad in my opinion

That's not "towing" and that is the only way to get it out is to drag it.
Boring. Dislike 👎
