Snowstorm Produces Puzzling Crash Footage

Feb. 2, 2011 11:37am Jonathon M. Seidl

A large chunk of the nation is currently getting hammered by snow and ice. At The Blaze, we regularly bring you videos of what happens when such weather wreaks havoc on traffic (here, here, and here). You seem to like those stories. So here’s another one.

This incident comes from New Hampshire, where I-93 got so slick yesterday, this happened:

Here’s the video:

The Eagle Tribune reports no serious injuries, and only says the car “slid off the road.” I think that’s an understatement.

  Mo, when my (now) late husband and I were in Marathon, FL, on our sailboat during the winter (Hoke hated the cold, and we lived in North Carolina), he loved to call home and tell the family that I was out riding my bicycle in a black bikini and that he was sitting on deck shirtless in shorts. Wrightsville Beach had 15″ of snow on the sand. They would groan, and he’d laugh.

@Jonathan Seidl, as you have figured out by my emails and comments here, I sit at this computer and read politics virtually all day here and other sites, when I’m not watching the Texas border at http://www.BlueServo.net. I APPRECIATE the break from oppressive politcal news. I have even thanked the Lord at times for Spider, Solitaire, Hearts, Free Cell, and Mindsweeper on my hard drive. And, now I thank you for the occasional lighter side of the news.

  @KATE –
  No wonder you didn’t know about the Appalachian Trail.
  
  From NCSU:
  “The Appalachian Mountains are the oldest mountain chain in North America. They sweep from Newfoundland to Alabama. The Appalachian Mountains are made up of mountains, ridges, and valleys. The Great Smoky mountains are in this region. They run from Tennessee to North Carolina. The Blue Ridge mountains are the backbone of the system. They extend from Georgia to Pennsylvania. In the Appalachian mountains there is Mt. Mitchell. This is the highest mountain on the eastern coast.”

  Showtime,
  I know where theAppalachian Trail is I just didn’t know what part of the country the post was coming from, so I didn’t have a refrence point. If I say hiked the GC and you were on the East coast would the Grand Canyon jump to mind if you didn’t know where I live? Thanks for the info though:-)

  I dont remember anyone saying that the Blaze was supposed to be “hard hitting”. If I recall it was to be stories that Mr. Beck would find interesting. I know it piqued my interest since I read it, and it must have done the same for you to have read then commented. So stop complaining about it and enjoy the ride.

  U-K, I realize we must live in the same area. My husband and I are whining because of the chill here today as well, AND we opted not to go hiking because of the winds and chill. I think we’ll hold off until next week. Since we used to live in New England we realize how lucky we are here – weather-wise, anyway.

  Haha, show this to all your Warmingologist friends!
  
  http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/snowfalls-are-now-just-a-thing-of-the-past-724017.html
  
  According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
  
  “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
  
  The effects of snow-free winter in Britain are already becoming apparent. This year, for the first time ever, Hamleys, Britain’s biggest toyshop, had no sledges on display in its Regent Street store. “It was a bit of a first,” a spokesperson said.
  …British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes – or eventually “feel” virtual cold. Heavy snow will return occasionally, says Dr Viner, but when it does we will be unprepared. “We’re really going to get caught out. Snow will probably cause chaos in 20 years time,” he said.

  GreyPiper,
  
  I’m sure our town would just LOVE to ship some snow over to England for those poor children to sled in, if the English would pay freight. We have more than enough to share. Would they like some ice, too? We’ll throw that in as a bonus.

  I live in San Diego. Thank God for my legal right to move here from another state.
  
  Whenever someone (a store clerk or any polite stranger) asks me “How are you doing today?”, I respond, “Well, if you know Jesus AND live in San Diego, what is there, really, worth complaining about? I mean, I live in Paradise, and I have another Paradise waiting for me…..I am a happy guy.”

  Have you ever tried to catch a rat (or a mouse) in a room full of furniture. The place will looks like a Tornado went through before you succeed.
  
  AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming aka Man-made global warming) proponents are beginning to “rat around” about the COLD HARD EVIDENCE. Its hard to catch them! What was “global warming” they are “ratting around” and now calling “climate change”.
  
  When “climate change” no longer explains the extended cooling trend that will be evident next year and the year after, they will probably “rat around” and say that the “pollution” permanently caused an “atmosphere change” that needs to be corrected with remedial removal of CO2!!!!
  
  I say to the AGW people, the same thing citizens are saying to the snow storms ……… RATS!!!!!!!!!!
