@@ThatGuy.75 Right!? Before moving there, I would visit my friend all the time, and never noticed how hilly Seattle is until we moved there. We lived on Denny Way, near 23rd Avenue, and boy was I shocked when it decided to snow our first year.

But people don't realize how many darn hills there are there! It never used to snow as much in Seattle proper like it seems to do now. The many, many times I fell and had to crawl until I could get my footing. Lessons learned!

Not just in Seattle but also up north in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Do people in Seattle still just abandon their cars on the freeway when it starts to snow?

Some people have jobs that don't allow them to take off for a snow day, though.

Lowest gear is how you spin wheels.

@@JohnnyMarsden really??? I'm so sorry then! Nah, sure not. That's is a point of saving control - do not let wheels get blocked. If you riding in this type of circumstances your priority is to save car moving - because then you can avoiding obstacles and start to lead the way. If you block you wheels - car CONTINUE moving, but without any control.

True until you're going 15 sliding into an intersection or a stoplight, lower gear and control won't matter when you need to stop completely

@@jakeberger4472 it's impossible to stop skiing at this situation. All you can do to do you best and prevent further problems by slowing down the car.

You're right, control is everything, but you can tap the brakes slightly, just lift off immediately if the wheels start locking up. Also, when braking, keep the wheels dead straight.. so many people were standing on their brakes with steering lock on in this video that it hurt my brain. I guess nowadays most people are so used to ABS, ESP and TC that they actually have no idea about car control.

@@SimonWoodburyForget I don't think you understand, on a sheet of ice chains don't work. I've seen busses with chains on sliding down the street. The only to keep a road from turning into an ice sheet is to salt/sand/plow it. On the mountain roads you rarely get an ice sheet because they salt/sand/plow the road before the snow builds up too much. People don't drive in snow alot often underestimate the black ice risk.

@@SimonWoodburyForget Okay then if you really belive chains work in any conditions then please drive you're chained up car down one of the hilly Seattle streets during a blizzard and see what happens. I will be laughing when I see you're dented car against the light pole. Many Seattle drivers have to learn the hard way you wouldn't be the only one.

Clearing the roads doesn’t help much when the local climate uses the freezing point as a damn trampoline.

Why can I only see 1 of the 3 replies? KZfaq must be doing alot of censorship as usual. I kind of understand why KZfaq might censor a political comment although its a shame you can't have a real political discussion on KZfaq but censoring comments about something like this COME ON!!!.

There are types of road salt that lower the freezing point of water enough that the road will remain wet in melt in the day freeze at night weather, the road only freezes during the worst cold snaps and using this type of salt tends to keep the cascade mtn passes wet or slushy.

lol

Dude, people here can't drive in the RAIN! And that is all it does! No headlights, drive fast, blah blah blah. Of course, in Seattle, the hip thing to do is wear black, walk on streets with no streetlights, and cross in front of moving traffic mid-block and blame the driver for not seeing you.

what about now around Seattle!

In some parts of the United States, studded winter tires are allowed during the snowy season, but they are not required.

You have obviously never been anywhere near the great lakes in winter then

That is exactly what we are getting right this moment: dry, powdery snow.

Same here in the UK , really wet snow that freezes overnight unless we get an easterly wind out of russia then we get the powder snow.

People watching this video don't understand Seattle topography or Northwest weather for all that matter. All they see on tv is that it rains here. They must not know when it rains, and the temps fall under 32 degrees, you get ice. Also, the hills we drive on, they call mountains in Kansas and the Midwest. Some may NOT know or understand that in Portland, they get freezing rain quite often....that's when it rains, it freezes IMEDDIATELY if not frozen when it hits. You should not insult what you don't understand. And yes, we are nice people and help each other. Try it sometimes.

Yeah.... UH try me AGAIN after experiencing Chicago snow. We always hover between 25-40°F in winter with around 60ish percent humidity which makes for SUPER heavy, ultra icy, shitty snow. I'm sure all the Minnesotans will come out of the woodwork screaming about how dry cold is worse and how they are 20°F colder cause they're like 300 mirls further north.... to be honest I'd rather have dry winter as opposed to 60mph winds, lake effect snow, and gulf humidity making the cold FEEL COLDER than it actually is, so badly that it feels colder than it actually IS in Minneapolis for fucks sake. I will not however, complain about spring / summer / falls here, or the relatively short duration of the truly shitty parts of winter. I love my state, and my city of Chicago.

Yep you're correct but the lack of common sense is unreal.

Im an expert snow driver its called 4x4 truck that weighs 8k pounds then add another 4k pounds of weight in the bed of the truck then chain up all 4 tires and go anywhere you want with no issue. I live in seattle are btw.

I guess no one is thinking these drivers couldnt drive well in the icy hills, but that they shouldnt have attempted any of these icy hills to begin with. If your trip consists of just these hills, then park the car somewhere and try to find alternative method to get to your destination.

It’s not about snow, or stupid drivers, it’s about icy hills. Did you ever drive Seattle city hills when it’s was icy?

Or even SAND?? They're on a COAST!! Surely they could find some....

@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks Seattle DOT uses sand and a chemical de-icer; the problem is that the hills are incredibly steep (John Street, shown here, is a bit steeper than it looks), the snow tends to fall in thin layers one at a time over several days rather than all at once, so the sand gets layered between snowpack and ice rather than staying on top. Also there are not enough snowplows in the city to clear things up fast enough. Oh, and oftentimes it snows and then rains just enough to turn the snow into slush before it freezes and snows again, which adds to the "slippy-slippy layercake of freezy-water" effect. No one is moving quickly to do anything about it, because of *The Seattle Process* and also the lack of priority assigned to something that is only a problem at most for two weeks out of any given winter. It doesn't snow enough to invest a lot of energy into sorting out snow removal; but it does snow enough to essentially give everyone who lives or works on or near a hill about a de facto weeklong vacation every winter.

@@duncanadelaide4054 I can appreciate the infrequency of such an event there... I grew up in New York and later lived in Chicago. Two Cities WELL equipped for Snowfall. Realistically, if this is such an infrequent event, perhaps these People should STAY Home when it happens, saving limited City Resources! Or at least close Streets like that one.

@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks A lot of streets do get closed, the problem is that Seattle is *extremely* hilly. That part of John Street isn't steep at all compared to the streets connecting that neighborhood to Downtown. If you were to close off all the streets as steep as John Street or steeper, the entire city would be closed; Capitol Hill would be an island, as would Beacon Hill, virtually cutting off the eastern half of the city from the western half, and the Queen Anne neighborhood wouldn't have a single north-south street left open. Most people do stay home as much as possible when that happens; the street in the video is usually a *lot* busier than that.

No but marketing tells people their Subaru, Toyota, Honda w/ AWD is a winter tank and people don't even learn that going downhill in AWD is no different than the 2WD version of the vehicle with the same tires. People simply do not understand when their AWD benefits them and when it does not. I do enjoy the AWD vehicles I have owned but I had no issue selling my Outback for a family FWD van with the same Blizzaks mounted on it. Driving up to the mountains and through snowy parking lots at ski resorts with a snow tire equipped FWD vehicle worked just fine. Even prefer it over AWD All Season tire equipped vehicles in most all paved road driving. Remember my family member offering to drive one snowy day in their All Season Honda AWD CRV and I said no thanks. I took my Toyota Sienna w/ Blizzaks WS70 to his surprise. I would rather have descent acceleration and improved braking of the FWD snow tire equipped vehicle vs the descent acceleration and poor braking of a AWD with stock all seasons.

We using salt.. -.- and it works

Salt is soo hard on vehicles lol

Jan Lukeš Doporučuje nesolit, ptž podle něj vám sůl auto zničí víc než hromadná bouračka s autobusem. :D

@@user-vr3fu2ek8d They are here in NH as well but only during Summer.

I agree. Unfortunately there are only a small handful of states where they are legal. I think the reasoning is they cause too much damage to the road surface. I personally don't believe that. Roads get far more damaged from commercial trucks. Pretty confident that a 40,000-80,000 pound truck is going to do far more damage than a with studded tires could ever do.

@@tomrichards6207 studded tires throw up a lot of dust apparently which is why there's a few roads here in Stockholm where they're not allowed. what these people could use are some nice chains

@@arrebarre chains are also illegal in a lot of places. Snow tires are the best we get here.

@@picomanbungace4035 damn, that sucks

They were the only ones who did it right. They didn't lock their brakes up. They kept the wheels rolling.

It would have been funny to see the fire truck crash into the police car. That would make a hilarious accident report the city would NOT like: "City truck crashes into city car".

this is Seattle. they dont get snow offten. most is using road tires.

I've NEVER used snow tires. Just all terrain mud/rain/dry tires, and never once have caused an accident in snow. It's a matter of skill, preparation, and how you react to your circumstances at that point. You could have studded ice tires, and you're still gonna go God only knows where if you lock the brakes up, and don't allow traction to be regained. Which is why I said there needs to be more classes/training for this before you can get your license. It's seeming year after year, there's more of a snow season in areas snow should not be there.

this is Seattle we talking about right? they get no snow for years at a time. so. they dont need tires like that for every day driving. nor do they need those skills often. so i cant blame them. even a skilled bus driver has trouble.

Chris Wilson I've been driving professionally and never had a issue for 35 years. This last winter I took a Seattle hill turn during a bad storm and did 3 360s down the hill magically missed all cars and slid into a ditch with no damage other then undercarriage scraps. So remember no one can do it by accident, accident are unintentional. So I did it by accident is a flawed phrase with legal loophole affiliations.

fayth78a1 actually we get snow often around Nov thru Jan Feb even March april. But typically not thick or doesn't stick well lots of slushy. But last 4 years have been harder and worse then the 30 before.

Lol yup, Final Destination.

SandWitchGamerZ we are going to get more snow just like this in January of 2017

Ye whom enjoy videos of crashes too much shall star in one

SandWitchGamerZ I'm getting 3 tonight in ohio

Great video!! Here is an in depth video of blizzak winter tires kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNSZZ8ljnLXUZmw.html

+Reckno64 Yeah. The way things are going we'll be having giant palm trees growing along Broadway pretty soon.

We just had our second warmest October on record, with last year being the warmest October. Hopefully this winter is better than last, in the mountains at least. But it's still projected to be warm yet again. We may start to feel like California eventually the way things are headed. :(

Same thing here in Minnesota. We used to yawn at a 6" snowfall and now that's blown up to natural disaster proportions because it's so rare when we get a good snowstorm now.

Douglas Skaalrud Which Minnesota city do you live in? I'll honestly be somewhat happy if we get even a trace of snow this winter. Hoping for maybe at least an inch in the winter. :( You guys still get a few inches of snow a winter right? And of course it's still really cold no matter how warm your winter is. It got down to 25 degrees Monday morning at the airport and may very well be the coldest we get this winter. I think it was in the low 20s while it was snowing in this video (at the airport at least).

+Reckno64 I'm just outside Minneapolis. Our weather in town is moderated by the "heat island effect" which appears to force bad weather around the Twin Cities metro area. We had a really good growing season this summer; moderately wet with a dry fall but once again winter is off to a really slow start and right now the chance of any measurable snow looks slim. If we're going to have any shot at deep snow it needs to start in early November and stay cold and that just doesn't happen like it used to. A big snowstorm tends to bring out the best in people here which is why I like to see a big one.

Thank you. Someone here finally gets it. I've been telling people about lower gear on snow and ice and they keep saying its winter tires you need. Its not always about the tires but how much traction you can get our of your vehicle that's what it counts on. Especially if you have 4X4 have it on LOW 4X4 with 1st or 2nd gear on.

Brakes

hhds113 Um, no. 4 Wheel DRIVE does NOT mean 4 Wheel STOP. That’s why people say get Winter Tires. I have a front wheel drive Lincoln MKS and I live in Fairbanks Alaska. With my FWD and winter tires, I’ve been able to safely pass 4X4 SUVs on hills without them. I could have easily passed the Acura MDX at the start of this video. I also live in a place where our roads are always like this, which is one reason we GET WINTER TIRES. Because on this hill I would’ve been likely able to stop, obviously with some skidding, but I would’ve been able to avoid a collision and stop on the hill. Next, the other big mistake people are making here is hitting the brakes, yes, but not when you guys are complaining about. When going down a hill like that, if you’re already sliding, just shifting down won’t help much. The momentum is already forcing you downward. Obviously start at the top of the hill and shift down and slow down though. However once you’re in that slide, you may as well hit the brakes. Cars today have ABS, which allows for micro braking, essentially when you hit the brakes, it acts like a very quick brake pump and it keeps the wheels from locking up. That’s why on older cars you pump the brakes, but on newer cars you can hit the brakes. The biggest issue I’m seeing here is when they have started to slide sideways, that’s when these people hit their brakes. The issue with that is when you’re sliding sideways, the worst thing you CAN do is to hit your brakes because it forces the momentum of the rear into the spin and will turn your car around and you’ll be sliding backwards. That’s the biggest issue you see on highways. When people start to fishtail - whether it’s hydroplaning or ice skidding - they hit their brakes which is what then causes the loss of control and the spin. If you take your foot off any pedal, your car will naturally slow itself down without enough momentum shift to cause your backend up lose all grip. The exception to that is really only with RWD, where it SOMETIMES (rarely; but sometimes) can be a good option to hit the gas for a second if your car has gone too far outward in a fishtail as it can help bring the car back the other direction. People tend to hit the brake then because they assume it’s too late anyways, which I guess is understandable as it won’t ALWAYS work to hit the gas in that moment, but it can. When doing a J-Turn like in action movies, at the last minute they let their foot off the gas, throw the wheel into a spin and pull the handbrakes. They do this because it shifts the momentum and lets the car spin as I said above. This advice comes from experience as an Alaskan with family from Norway. My advice has saved my life and other people as well, largely by preventing any accident, which largely comes down to my tires. I understand in Seattle there’s really no need for the Winter Tires, but All Seasons are not good in snow or ice. Just because they are snow rated, that doesn’t mean they should be used in it. That’s the biggest misconception about All Seasons (the tire on EVERY CAR IN AMERICA unless you swap for Winter Tires). All Seasons have to be able to tolerate about an inch of snow, but the compound isn’t soft enough for ice or snow. That’s why anytime it snows in Colorado, you see KZfaq videos of accidents spamming the internet. They have this misconception that “All Seasons” ARE snow tires when they’re not, they’re the tires we switch from TO Winter Tires. Back to my point though: in Seattle there’s really no need for Winter Tires because the weather never calls for it (unlike in Colorado, my reference above is from spending a lot of time there as an older teen and driving), but because of that, most of these people should be off the roads. Ice in Seattle is the same as rain in LA. LA freaks out in rain because it doesn’t rain enough, so all the oil on the roads lifts in rain and becomes a sheet. Ice in Seattle doesn’t happen much, but when it does, it creates a massive sheet. A thin one, but one nonetheless. So people should be prepared, learn how to drive on ice (read above) and stay off the roads.

@@ConnorGibbsAK - wow do you like the sound of your own voice, oh great Oracle of knowledge.

V bar chains on all four, or studs on all four, might have saved more than their cost in body damage.

Seattle doesn't get much snow. It only snows like that every few year if lucky.

but you still now its coming and should be prepared.

scanjett generally yeah, but chains or no chain. It's still hard in a city made with hills and bike lanes.Given that we are also the 4th worst city in terms of traffic. It doesn't really matter when everyone is going 5mph.

True

Carl Covington it probably didn't snow the winter before

Mia colucci.

P nope

I moved to Seattle (actually Kent) from Los Angeles in 1974 and that winter 13 inches of snow fell one night. Next morning I was second one to get to work in my '56 Buick with chains on, after a 4-wheel drive pickup. Only five made it to work that day. Otherwise, the whole place was brought more or less to a standstill. Much has to do with attitude and willingness to have a minimum of equipment (such as tire chains) available. It wouldn't have hurt for the people on that street to each have a sack of traction sand in addition to their cameras. Government isn't going to save your a** from the rare event. The only snow removal effort I saw was one motor grader on Central Avenue.

In Finland and most of Canada the ground freezes...in Seattle it doesn't. Big difference...

@@geoh7777 wow you must be old now right

Rani39 what if u drive east

Tires come in handy tho

True. And studded tires are a menace. nothing chews up the roads faster except the busses and trucks. If it snows here in Seattle you are probably just going to need chains anyway.

It's always worth it because it's much cheaper than cost of high insurance and damages to your car or others! Dipshit

But if this what you decided to do, you don't drive on that particular day in a few years.

how old are you im 30 graduated in 07'

I wonder how that went? I know Seattle is in 8B/9A climate zone and surrounding areas are mainly 8B but I didn't think Citrus trees could really grow well here. I know certain types of Palm trees can. I've seen quite a few palms around Marysville and Everett
